This year, we will have a special activity at the Methodist Home on Connecticut Ave. In the morning, one the activities at the church will be to make baked goods for the residents. Then adults will accompany up to 12 children to the Home to deliver the treats. From 10:30-11:30 a.m., children will be paired with residents to do an individual craft project.
