Preschool kids, teachers, and clergy joined hands in festivities that included special activities designed for the little ones. Laughter echoed in the air as children engaged in games, songs, and interactive sessions, fostering an atmosphere of joy and innocence.

In each celebration, the emphasis was not only on fun and games but also on instilling values that are foundational to the church community. The children, in their exuberance, took a moment to express gratitude to their teachers and elders, recognizing the importance of guidance and support.
