It’s always a fun time gathering with the whole Northwood community to eat, laugh, and compete with each other. I go to it with no expectations and leave already looking forward to the next one. My favorite part of Church at Jones Park is the kickball tournament. Jason Godard needs his eyes checked, though if he’s reffing again. 🤣
