Vacation Bible School was Out of this World!
Last week, we sent over 70 kids on missions each day to collect Hope, Faith, Thankfulness and Kindness to help fuel the "Starship Galaxion." These young voyagers
learned timeless Bible stories, conducted scientific experiments, created works of art, and played games outside, all to help generate and collect the required Elements of the Day: Faith, Kindness, Thankfulness, and Hope.
