Historic VBS Comes to a Close

What a great time the children of Vacation Bible School had traveling back to biblical times! The children learned some Hebrew, made jewelry, wove baskets, did some carpentry along with some song and dance. Bible School is an incredible outreach for our church. This year we had over 90 children and adults that participated.

Thank you all the volunteers that helped make this possible. Without your help all this would not have been possible.
