Cissie became our caregiver in the nursery in December 2006. She holds a part time job as a school bus driver for the Kingston Area Independent School District, as well. Cissie has already made dozens of useful improvements to the nursery. She quickly won the confidence of both the church and its children. The nursery is open for two hours on Sunday morning, beginning a few minutes after 9 am and closing a few minutes after 11 am.
