VBS invite

The theme for Bible School this year is “Bee Like Jesus” and on Tuesday evening a bee farmer will be there so VBS will begin a little earlier, at 6 p.m., on Tuesday, June 24.

Each year the offering goal is $1,000 and this year the church will be collecting money to help a family. Right now the family name is being kept anonymous, but they will have a big reveal at the end of VBS.

All area children are invited to attend, and parents are welcomed to stay for the program each evening as well.
