Days three and four of VBS were full of more excitement and fun! Our kids are learning so much about science, music, making friends, and trusting God this week. Many thanks to all our volunteers for making this such a great week so far!

Days 1 and 2 of VBS have been a wild success! Our kiddos are enjoying science experiments, theatrical stories, fun games, upbeat music, tasty treats, and more. Additionally, the older students got to tour the CCC and assist with volunteer activities like sorting through donations, packing goody bags for kids, and making cards for the food pantry bags. What a great start to an incredible week!

We're so grateful for the beautiful and creative decorating by our very own Susan Estes. The sanctuary always looks so lovely, and helps us consider each liturgical season during worship. Thank you, Susan!

If you're over the age of eleven, but still want to be involved in VBS this year, we have two options for you! First, if you're able-bodied and have some free time June 8-12, you can sign up to volunteer. Second, even if you can't volunteer, you can still purchase items from our VBS amazon wishlist. Just click the link below to help us make sure VBS is an incredible week for our kiddos!

Pastors Annie and Alex used a fantastic object lesson to demonstrate the rushing wind of Pentecost in our children's story time during the morning worship yesterday. The kids were certainly surprised! Alex Beaube Annie Deaderick-Bush
