Highlights
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
The theme for Vacation Bible School 2009 is “ROME - Paul and the Underground Church.” Children will have the thrill of visiting an underground church, explore a crowded Roman marketplace, tiptoe past watchful Roman guards, encourage coura geous first-century Christians who meet in a dark cave, laugh as they race chariots, and visit Paul for daily discoveries about God’s love. Vacation Bible School will kick off on Sunday, June 28 following worship with lunch. Monday thru Thursday, June 29 -July 3, we will be serving dinner at 5:30 pm with VBS beginning at 6:00 pm. Volunteers are needed to help with the program.
