Fun in February

Big and Little Buddies and adult leaders test their courage and balance skills at the ice rink at the 7th Mountain Resort.

Experienced skaters and newbies gave it a shot as they encouraged one another around the ice. Winter fun for all!

ASB girls prepared Valentines of love for teen moms at Grandma's House, women living at the Bethlehem Inn, and patients and families at the Hospice Center. Our mission to love others as God has loved us was put into action this season! Everyone appreciates being remembered - especially when times are tough.
