VBS was a BLAST!
To Mars and Beyond was a huge success! In our first ever all-day VBS, we had over 50% more campers than last year - what a blessing to be able to share the love of Jesus with so many kids!
Thanks to all of our "To Mars and Beyond" campers that joined us! We had a great time learning about how God can do "
far beyond all that we can ask or imagine.
" Our imaginations went wild with our science experiments, crafts, storytelling and music.
A very special thanks also goes out to our amazing group of volunteers for the week! With over 50% more campers than last year, our volunteers rose to the exciting challenge of leading all of these amazing and energetic campers throughout the week! To see more photos from the week, click here:
