O Lord our God, you are always more ready to bestow your good gifts

may be opened to us; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

VBS 2022 was such a huge success this summer. We had an average of 25 kids each night! I would like to extend my heartfelt thank you to everyone who made VBS possible! Thank you to everyone who donated towards the mission! The meals and desserts were very much appreciated by all. Thank you to the volunteers who gave their time and talents during VBS! The kids really enjoyed their fun week because of each of you. And thank you to the parents for sharing their children with us this week. Children are such an important part to our church. We had the pleasure of spending the week with some amazing new friends. Again, I appreciate you all so very much and I look forward to VBS 2023 (Stellar! Shine Jesus’ Light!) |
