Vacation Bible School is staffed for two crews, so we have enough volunteers for about 20 kids. We’ll enjoy a two-day VBS this year, Friday and Saturday, July 19-20. This year, adults are invited to stay for the whole VBS. It’ll be a good time to share our hospitality with families and our community. We’ll have a VBS Recap during worship on the 21st, for kids and adults who can join us. Invite family and friends for VBS, please!
