April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, and to remember the millions of children who are victims of abuse/neglect, Blue Sunday Child Abuse Prevention is asking the faith community to pray on Sunday, April 30, 2023.
How to pray for abused children on Blue Sunday:
Pray they will be rescued
Pray they are placed with caring people
Pray their minds and bodies can heal
Pray they find hope
Pray for those who rescue them​
Let’s pray, educate ourselves, and volunteer until black and blue are just colors in a child’s crayon box.

Thank you to all who voted for our tugboat, SS Pinwheel. We appreciate your donations.
The 2022-23 Sailing Through the Winter Solstice display will take place from November 19, 2022 to March 4, 2023. You can view the boats anytime day or night. In fact, you may want to take a look while it's light out and again after it gets dark and the lights come on. Lights typically turn on at sunset, so this is a great time to see them both ways. Sailing Through the Winter Solstice is a fundraiser - visitors can vote on their favorite boat, with donations supporting local non-profit organizations. Our boat, the SS Pinwheel, was built by and is sponsored by Premier Choice Exteriors.
