Steve (Financial Donor) "We come away from time with the Capernaum group feeling that they’ve blessed us more than we’ve blessed them!"
Jax (Staff Associate) “Watching our friends grow their love for God and each other makes Capernaum a safe and happy place for me.”
Wende (Committee Member and Capernaum Creates Teacher) “I love being with the Capernaum kids. Most of the time that’s at The Gallery at Natoma 48 for our Capernaum Creates art classes. They are just so creative in all they do. I see art as a beautiful way for them to express themselves. Each one surprises and delights. And, what’s best are the smiles—those pure, completely genuine, from-the-heart smiles. You can see the joy etched in their expressions. They are just happy through and through. Honestly, nothing gives me more joy than those sweet faces.”
