Going with the flow at Sunshine Place

The Sunshine Place recently showcased the works of its art students in Flow, an exhibit highlighting the beauty of accepting grace in starting over, peace in pausing, and growth in going with the flow. This also marks the fifth year of its Coloring Lives initiatives for its members.
