A huge thank you to all of the
volunteers who helped make
Vacation Bible School a
success. It truly takes a
village to raise a child. All
that you have done whether it
be behind the scenes, teaching, leading, decorating,
planning, or organizing has helped in teaching the children
about the love of Christ. I can not thank you enough for
your continued support and dedication to the children's
ministry program!!
Pastor Jim and Karen are on a well
deserved vacation, should you need any
