Both nights two & three of VBS tied for the highest number of children in a single night in our history of presenting VBS.

Many children responded to hearing the Gospel & although many of them are too young to understand what that really means, we are praying over each one of them - that GOD would keep HIS hand on them & bless them on their journey.

We have been encouraging them to share with their parents at home what they are learning at church.

In addition - the girls are CRUSHING the boys in our annual coin war.

All proceeds go to the Blue Ridge Pregnancy Center.

If the girls stay on track & win - our Youth Leader Ben Hershman will be getting a "mashed potato pie" in the face.

The children are great this year & our VBS team are focused & faithful.

We would welcome the opportunity to have YOUR child be a part of night four.

We start at 6 PM & wrap up around 8 PM.

We hope to see YOUR child tonight at VBS.

On night two of VBS, we reached our highest total of children registered for a single week in our 13 years of doing VBS.

The children have been great this year & we are having the opportunity to share the good news of JESUS with them in song, crafts, games, food, music - but most of all through the nightly message.

Our VBS team has worked hard to prepare & they have been faithful in their service.

If you would like for YOUR child to attend, we would welcome you to bring them tonight for night three.

We start at 6 PM & wrap up around 8 PM.

We hope to see YOUR child tonight at VBS.

Our first night of VBS saw one child accept JESUS as her Savior.

Heading into night two, we need our Prayer Warriors to pray that good prevails over evil.

There is still time to register YOUR child for VBS.

You can do so at the link below or simply show up in person.

Each year the boys compete against the girls in our annual coin war.

This year - if the boys win, Amber will get a "potato pie" in the face.

But if the girls win, Ben gets a "potato pie" in the face.

Both Ben & Amber are great sports & love serving in our youth ministry.

All of the coins raised will be donated to Blue Ridge PC to help young expecting mothers who are facing extreme difficulties & decision making.

Just as we care about the young boys & girls at our VBS, we also care about the young children who are being "formed in the womb" by a GOD who loves them so much.

We hope you will join us as we teach these young children about JESUS & that each child is "fearfully & wonderfully made".
