Julie Brantley reads with Michael Nguyen as part of the Care Play Read summer program at the Saturn Road church in Garland, Texas. Organizer Paul Burnam said the program is a “reading, VBS, free lunch, educational outreach ministry.” Started 14 years ago, Care Play Read has grown to serve about 125 students in kindergarten through fourth grade. The program runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday for seven weeks. “This program is special for so many reasons,” Burnam said. “It is a ministry that brings all ages of volunteers of the church together. We have young mothers all the way to 80-year-old brothers and sisters in the faith. They work side by side.” (Photo submitted by Paul Burnam)Sept. 1, 2006
