Each summer at the end of June, the church holds two weeks of Vacation Bible School. This is the church's biggest outreach to the community, and we make it our emphasis to lift up Jesus as the only hope and savior. Over the years, attendance has steadily risen, with this last year's attendance being 178 children and teens and 63 adult teachers and helpers. Teresa Wright has done a terrific job leading the program for nearly all of the last 21 years. Each V.B.S. evening begins at 6:45 p.m. with an opening of lively songs in the sanctuary. Everyone is then dismissed to their classes for saying their memory verses, collecting the offering for the special missionary project, leaning their Bible lesson, enjoying a snack, and working on a craft. Everyone returns to the sanctuary for a closing song and prayer at 8:30 p.m. The last night of the two weeks the youth are encouraged to invite their parents to a special closing program of singing, games and special food. |
