The Vacation Bible School held by Christ Our Savior in Griffin, GA, was held in the community close to the church. They had four children attend, and they hope to grow the attendance in the same neighborhood with future VBS programs in the community. Many volunteers attended from the church congregation to organize the activities. The children enjoyed singing and learning hymns, Bible lessons on The Passover and the crucifixion, crafts, games, and a snack.

You can find all the information about the application here.
