When you put three ‘S together you get a shamrock but when you put many S together you get a "Share Your Heart Art Show!!"

Residents are having a wonderful time at the "Share Your Heart Art Show" choosing their own inspirational personalized plaques made by parishioners from the First Church of Christ in Altoona! #weareblessed #covidcantkeepusdown

This line is getting old but it is what it is. This wasn’t our typical Christmas Party but, we made it happen!!!
