glass and children

Two stories I did recently: one on a stained glass project and another on the Christian Children's Fund working with the St. Francis community.

I had a great time doing the CCF story because it was the first time I did something not affiliated with the Mission, so I was able to hear people's take on the community who I wouldn't regularly hear from. You can read that here. Unfortunately the Rapid City Journal didn't post any of my photos with the online version.

The stained glass story was fun, too. I got to see kids taking pride in making something really cool, and the window looks great in the back of the church. Read it here.

This is a picture one group of kids did of St. Francis. They had to put happy face stickers on the places they thought were positice (home, church, school, etc.) and frowning faces on bad places. Wisdom corner (where alcoholics and homelss people hang out all day) and the cemetery were two places the kids chose.
