Last week, we hosted VBS at the church, and what a wonderful week it was! We are incredibly grateful to all of our volunteers who helped make the week such a success. A special thank-you goes to our Children's Education Director, Missy Allen, for the countless hours of planning, preparation, and hard work she devoted to making VBS possible.

Over the course of the five-day program, we welcomed an average of 114 campers each day. We invite you to watch this short video to see some highlights from the week and get a sneak peek at next year's VBS theme!

Many years ago, the Outreach Committee launched our 5th Sunday Projects as a special opportunity to serve our community beyond the walls of the church. Every 5th Sunday, members came together to make a difference through hands-on service and outreach. After a few years away, we are excited that the Helping Hands Committee has revived this meaningful tradition!

Today was a wonderful day of service and fellowship. Together, we packed 100 food bags for families experiencing food insecurity, created thoughtful cards to brighten the days of shut-ins and nursing home residents, spent time in prayer, and assisted with lawn care at three homes in our community.

Thank you to everyone who shared their time, talents, and hearts to make this day such a success. We look forward to continuing this tradition of serving others and being the hands and feet of Christ.

Mark your calendars and watch for more information about our next 5th Sunday Project on August 30!
