Splash Party
Over 500 Federated family members and friends enjoyed
a delightful Iowa evening at the Clive Aquatic Center last
Sunday. Whether it was a float around the lazy river, a giant
belly flop out of the water slide or a peaceful moment in a
comfy lounge chair, there was fun for everyone…and yummy
treats, too. Thanks to the Children’s Ministry staff and volun-
teers for helping make this a great night for everyone.
