Vacation Bible School is coming !!!
Our children's ministry is working hard to be able to offer vacation Bible school during the summer. This week long project requires many volunteers, in different areas to ensure the safety and success of VBS. If you are able to assist by volunteering in any of the available jobs, for just one week, we would be able to serve many more children in our community. Please see Erica Frazee Sunday after service or message her or Pastor Sandra. Thank you!
