The Rockford Register Star’s Jennifer Wheeler stopped out to see what Friday Fun Fest is all about. Grace’s partnership with Loves Park Elementary School is in its sixth year of providing experiences in life skills such as cooking, computer training, games, woodworking, gardening, knitting and many more.

Wheeler spoke with Lisa Cunz, vice president of the Loves Park PTA.

“I am very impressed for how small the church is and how much of an impact they have,” Cunz said. “Without them, there would be a lot of things they probably couldn’t do or wouldn’t experience.”
