MELISSA CROWSHOE AND lYNDA rOWBOTTOM | SOUTH OF LEDUC
Hello! I'm Melissa and I’ve been attending Daystar for 17 years! I have 2 young boys. I grew up in a family and community that believed parents should model their faith to kids from a young age, so my hope is that parents with small children feel welcome to bring their little ones to this group! Together we can discuss what God has put on our hearts through studying The Purple Book, in the midst of raising children.
Cal and Lynda will host and co-lead this group. They have been long standing Deacons in Daystar. Always smiling and always ready with an encouraging word Lynda is a mother in the faith! She has such a heart for people and a love of the Word of God.... and cats!
Couples with young children, and those new to the faith, are encouraged to join this life group!
