Praise God for the Playground!

Today our entire family headed to Nashville, NC for the playground dedication that was being held at NUMC in memory of my grandparents who bequeathed a large part of their estate to their beloved church.  It was approximately one year ago that they had a special church service to announce this, and part of the money that was given to the church was earmarked for the children.  It was decided that the children's playground would be updated.

My grandmother would have loved this as she taught Sunday school for 50+ years!


Waiting for the ribbon to be cut.


Mary Lou Braswell and Granddaddy Bob cut the ribbon to officially open the playground.
(the Braswell family also substantially gives to NUMC)


Everything on the playground was new except the Arc.  It is a staple to the church and playground, so it was given a new paint job.


Grandaddy Bob even tried out the see-saw.


Notice our dare-devil, Maverick, flying down the slide face first!
