ACCORDING TO SOME OF THE MEMBERS, THIS IS THE SECOND VBS EVER HELD HERE AND IT HAS BEEN OVER 15 YEARS SINCE THE LAST ONE.
There were several parents (new ones to the church and our regulars) who came to enjoy the closing time of celebrating the week of ministry to the children. We thank God for 40 children who attended and possibly more that we don't have count of. There were some who came the last night that were not counted until then. Each night was blessed as we studied and did crafts in the theme of the night. The theme for the week was Week of Faith. Monday through Thursday night each had a theme beginning with The Lord's Prayer, Ten Commandments, Daniel & the Lion's Den, and The Three Hebrew Children. Friday evening was a great time of celebration as we gave each child a Certificate of Completion, a T-Shirt with the themes on them, and a magnetized picture of each one to go on their frige. We are so thankful for each one who came and for those who served. Each staff member was given a large bag of "life savers" as a token of their service and for being a life saver in our VBS. After the celebration ceremonies we went into the fellowship hall for hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, drinks, etc. and most of all FELLOWSHIP. We enjoyed the company of several parents that came to our church for the first time.
Each evening Sister Karen shared her testimony of who is her best friend - Jesus. We encourged the children to receive Jesus as their best friend.
The pictures below are of tonight's celebration activities.
