Over 35 DCPC youth helped lead this year's Vacation Bible School as small group leaders, rec leaders, craft helpers, snack chefs, and more. Here is what two of them had to say about their experience:
"VBS was an amazing experience! The way my four year old group learned about God and took away an important message each day was truly inspiring! I found it really neat to see kids younger than me worship the same way I do and I am 12 years older than them!"
-Audrey Collier (Small Group Leader)
"I had a blast and it was very cool watching all of the little kids have fun."
-Carter Busse (Recreation Leader)
MASSANETTA SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL CONFERENCE
The MSMSC is the annual pilgrimage DCPC takes to central VA for 4 packed days of worship, fun, and friends. Here are some thoughts from three of our 8th graders on their experience:
"It's a great experience because even though you still see your church during free time in your small group, everyone is a new face. No one knows each other so everyone is looking for a friend just like you. You might end up finding someone that you talk to much longer after Massanetta is over."
-Claire Alexander
"The best parts of Massanetta are being able to meet new people, getting to bond with your church group, getting to learn more in depth about our relationships with God and the people around us, like the golden rule."
-Julia Burhans
"My favorite part is always vespers. During vespers, everyone holds candles in the dark while there is chill music playing and it's a time for reflection. It's my favorite because I enjoy the peacefulness and calm compared to everything else in the whole conference."
-Sam Millen
LOOKING AHEAD
SERVING WITH CATERPILLAR MINISTRIES
For the sixth summer, our church will be providing bags of groceries to children who attend Blythe Elementary School and miss out on free school breakfast and lunch over summer break. Your family can partner with this project by loading and delivering 10 grocery bags on Thursdays this summer! The time commitment is from 10:30-12:00 and requires a parent with a car that will hold 10 grocery bags. Volunteers are needed on July 11th, July 18th, July 25th, August 1st, August 8th, and August 15th. If you are able to help on one of these dates,
please email Catherine Bragg with the date of your choice and Catherine will provide detailed directions. THANK YOU for helping us meet this need with our partner school!
