VBS Thanks, Testimony, Christmas in July Food Drive (Pastoral Emphasis for 6/29)

 VBS Wrap-Up 

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s Vacation Bible School! What a joy it was to journey to Wonder Junction, where we marveled at the beauty of Jesus and discovered how we are called to live for His glory. The energy, enthusiasm, and eagerness of everyone made it an unforgettable experience.

A special thank you goes out to our amazing teachers and volunteers who gave their time, love, and creativity to make VBS a great success. 

 

Testimony

We are also grateful for the encouraging video testimony shared by Sis. Janae Branch—what a blessing to hear how God has blessed her and her daughter Logan.
