and gospel magic with a side of Christmas!

Between pieces, the group is also offering
narration, personal testimony, and a heartfelt message from one of the pastors of these

celebrate together, so everyone is invited to
attend and enjoy.

Between the Lines - December 2014
It was a night to remember!
The Masters of Soul
reminded us why we all love
Motown.
Louisiana State Library & the
Louisiana Bar Association
have started sharing, and
we’re grateful!
Our first Craft Fair in
the Events Center was
phenomenal. There were so
many goodies everywhere!
LPL Teen Advisory Board created
150 Thanksgiving cards for the
local nursing homes. The patrons
were very appreciative.
Scary, scary skeletons!
Gracie, Morgan, and Emma
are full of stars.
