Last week I reported that we had launched VBS 2023. Well, this week I can report that the “flight” was successful, and the lunar lander has touched down! Thank you, church, for your unwavering support of our children’s and youth programs! I also want to thank Bri Abercrombie, this year’s VBS Director. She provided me with a list of helpers. If I inadvertently leave your name out, please forgive me! And, rest assured that God’s knows of your service in behalf of those precious children.
