VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL – June 29 to July 3!!!! God blessed us with about 200 registered children, and over 70 workers. The theme for the morning school was “Operation Space.” The children learned that God is the authority we need to obey and trust. For the evening school, the theme was “One ‘Way’ = Christ.” This year was our first 5-day VBS and the Lord accomplished much during that time in the hearts of the children and young people. We praise Him, and trust that His Word will continue to work in the children’s lives. See article.
