Church opens preschool
RIDERWOOD - Hunt?s Memorial UMC is an old church - begun in 1773 - but this fall it will begin a new program to respond to the young families in the community.
'We?ve taken a leap of faith to make disciples by starting a Christian preschool,' said the Rev. Mary Roberts.
Eight months into the planning, a 19-member committee, inspired by the whole congregation to see the vision that God has for their church, has raised more than $80,000 for the project and hired a director, an office assistant, at least three teachers and two aides.
The Hunt?s Church Preschool will open in September with up to 80 children, ages 2 to 5.
'We know that we were only able to accomplish this because it was God?s will,' Roberts said.
