On a chilly wet day when clouds hung low… spirits were high for Joshua Station’s 20th Anniversary Celebration and Family Carnival. What a reunion! Staff, volunteers, and donors from all 20 years. Residents from the early days, and new arrivals. Hugs were warm and delight overflowed.
We’re grateful for all we’ve experienced of God and each other in this precious place. Here’s to the next 20!
