Last night, the Buckner Longview campus was filled with love at the Valentine's party for all Buckner families in the Longview area. Laughter filled the halls as more than 300 people came together to participate in fun games and crafts and enjoy sweet Valentine treats. The party, which was planned and organized by the Longview High School Z-Club and cheerleaders, even received some special visitors: The Longview High School mascots. 

"This was such a fun event for our families," said Sarah Beasley, Buckner ministry engagement coordinator for East Texas. "Everywhere you looked there were smiles and joy as families mingled with each other and children worked on crafts, played games or took photos with the mascots. We're so grateful to our volunteers and sponsors that allowed this night to happen."
