VBS, A Huge Success!

Our 2008 VBS was a great success! Each evening an average of 55 kids joined us for a time of fun and learning more about Jesus. Following a light supper was a time of fun for all; there were lessons learned, crafts made, games played and songs sung.

Friday evening was our main VBS program where the kids sang the songs that they had learned for their parents and Pastor Bob gave a closing prayer. Some of the kids also shared their music with us last Sunday morning, What a blessing.

A special Thank you to Kristen Crawford and her wonderful staff who made it all possible, and to all those who donated cookies, juice, time and talent. To God be the Glory, great things He hath done!
