Hey Bro. Joe- Dennis Terry here and I want to apologize for not getting back with you before now but due to some crazy email issues, changing servers and such, I have been locked out and couldn't sign in for several months. I finally got back in about 30 minutes ago! If I can help with any issues concerning sets, props, or backdrops, I would be honored. Thanks bud!
Please email me at hopr10@yahoo.com. I read your comment on Sets and props and you said you were changing from a rotation method to a large/small group format. Please explain what you did for rotation and what you want to do with large/small groups. I need some ideas. Thanks, Dava.. pastor's wife at Grace Pointe

Hey Joe,
Hey there and welcome to the site! I'm Todd Hampson and we have a group called the Timbuktoons Group.
Well hello Joe! My name is Dennis and I just found out about CMC a few weeks back and had to join. I am looking to meet good people who work with kids. My business and Ministry is theming Children's Churches and providing props and banners of any size for the Ministry. If you are interested, I would like to invite you to drop by my site and view some pictures of my work. I would be honored to be used as a resource in the future. If I can help you with anything, please let me know. Blessings to you!
