What a great time we had hosting another fantastic BRAVEHEART CARNIVAL on June 4th! Between the tie dying, dunking booth, face painting, corn hole, cake walking and delicious food, there wasn’t a dull moment. A big shout out to an awesome crew and our friends from St. John’s. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so special to so many.

“It was so uplifting. I will lobby vigorously for future collaboration. I went to bed with a smile on my face. Hanging out with these wonderful young folks was food for the soul.”
“What a great time we had last night! The love that was everywhere in that place! Tears in my eyes typing this. Thank you and all from your church! What a witness to God you all are! Jonathan woke up dancing!?
“It was a wonderful party! The 3 of us plus our other three pals totally enjoyed all the fun… Thank you, thank you, thank you… We totally agree that our different ableness makes the world a better place and the support and prayers from your congregation makes a difference!
The Outreach Committee of St. John’s Episcopal Church, as well as members from Bream Memorial Church, have joined KUPC in our BraveHeart Fellowship mission. We all look forward to more collaboration between our churches!
