Exploring our Neighborhood























An ice cream shop started by two sisters wanting to provide a family-friendly spot for a community that doesn’t have a lot of sit-down spots.

A harp factory in the middle in an unmarked building just two minutes away that houses these precious instruments that take skill to make and skill to play.


These two treasures are amidst the blocks that make up our neighborhood and could easily be passed up, but their stories and significance were experienced and discussed with our BLING girls!

Congratulations Helen and Esme!


Helen completed 2 years in the BLING Teen Apprentice Program! Just last week, we received the news we have been waiting to hear! Helen got a job! After many applications and a couple of interviews, God has opened a door for Helen and I am so excited to see her succeed in this work!

Esme has completed 1 year of the BLING Teen Apprentice Program. She has been involved with BLING for four years. She is a humble leader and amazing young woman! She is redesigning our BLING room with one of our volunteers--and, it is looking awesome! God is doing amazing things with the life of this young lady.


Display at Steward's Market
Esme and Helen did a beautiful job setting up a display at Steward's Market the last week of May. We forgot about posting the pictures and updating the blog, but WE ARE BACK...and ready to catch ya'all up...


Helen's Set up! Blue, Red, Gold!

Green, Yellow, White! Esme's Display!



The Whole Thing!
