  • Wolves will meet this Tuesday, November 17th, at the Delk’s home – 400 Gatewood in Whitehouse – Bring completed God & Me if you have it done!

    WOW – Wolf Den 4 were campfire skit SUPERstars at family camp! Great work to all of you for practicing hard and performing our skits for parents as well as the campfire program. Why meet this week?  Normally, we don’t meet the week following a camping event, but we only have a very few meeting days between now and Christmas break!!

That leaves December 8th for an official meeting and December 15th for our Christmas service project delivery to…
