The Gun Barrel City Masonic Youth Rainbow Girls and Pledges attended church together at the Cedar Creek Lake United Methodist Church in Tool on Sunday, April 7, to celebrate the founding of their order. It was Rainbow Sunday. The Rainbow Assembly was represented by 19 Rainbow Girls, Pledges, parents, and advisory board members. Following the service, a delicious brunch was enjoyed in the Fellowship Hall. Also, this weekend, the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is celebrating 91 years of Rainbow.
