WELCOME
“There is an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1
If your calendar is anything like ours, then you have a million things to do and million places to be this Fall. Kids are back in school with extra-curricular activities; work is in high gear as everyone returns from summer vacation; and of course we’re all preparing for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The list
goes on and on – seemingly forever. As we head into the busiest season of the year, we encourage you to create opportune times for the important things in life. Be intentional about taking time out for your family. Other things in life will of course still come, and if we don’t set aside time for our family - and ourselves - the less important things will creep in and take over. The Salvation Army Kroc Center of Augusta has many
exciting programs and activities that you and your family can enjoy together: Kroc Church, swimming, fitness, arts, movies and countless other activities. Take a few moments to review this guide. Circle some activities that you would like to take advantage of and add them to your calendar! Thank you for being part of the Kroc Augusta Family... you belong here! - Captains Philip & Elaine Canning
