Tots Accompanied

Suzanne and her family are moving out of the area at the end of this month and the leadership role for PSBC Tots Accompanied will be vacant We would ask the church to pray at this time that God would draw someone’s heart to the leadership of this group.

We would like to thank Suzanne for all her hard work and dedication in running Tots Accompanied at PSBC for the last 5 years.
