MOPS San Marcos

How is it March already?!? We enjoyed a DELICIOUS, HOMEMADE meal from Rebekah's group! Pasta, Spaghetti, Italian bread, salad, broccoli, and CHOCOLATE CAKE and yummy desserts! Thanks ladies!!! We were so lucky to first hear from the wonderful, inspiring Celeste and other representatives of "YoungLives" a spinoff from the nationally famous teen outreach program, YoungLife.
