5:00pm-8:15pm daily (snack supper included) for children age 4 through 5th grade.
The curriculum is Gospel Light’s Son Spark Labs. The theme is “Discovering
God’s Plan 4U = Jesus.”
Each session focuses on one aspect of God’s plan as revealed through God’s word.
We will participate in experiments and hands-on activities that help us get to know
Jesus and God’s plan of salvation. We will discover that God loves us and that
through Jesus we can be members of God’s family and personally experience God’s
plan for each of us. VBS will conclude with a Celebration on Sunday, August 2nd,
during the Worship Service.

Dear Church Family—I feel blessed to be
associated with such a caring congregation.
Thank you for your many cards, and
expressions of sympathy at the passing of my
dad, Paul Owens. He didn’t know any of you
personally, but he cared about the ministry of
the church. Whenever we would talk he always
would ask, “How is your church doing?’
~Ray Owens
