Consecrated to Christ: December 2020

Hello everyone! Hope ya'll's Christmas was lovely! We had a full December that was packed full of special moments! Join me in a journey of pictures through our month...

Dec. 2nd was the GBS Christmas Program rehearsal. We had a VERY different program this year as only campus families were allowed to attend in person and all public could watch online, which was very sad, but we were thankful that we could still do something to share the Christmas story.
