Parents Welcome to McQuate’s Sendoff - This coming Tuesday, on November 30th, we will spend the entire night at Plants & Pillars, honoring the McQuate’s for their time at CBCTV. Would you please let the parents interested in attending know that they can come for the whole evening if they would like? We understand that they may have to miss Life Group, but this is a one-time event to encourage the McQuate’s as we send them off.
