A VBS Thank you
To all the children who came to Vacation Bible School at AFUMC! Your singing, your joy, and your attention to the Word of God were a beautiful gift. Thank you to our VBS volunteers for being willing to plan, prepare, and set out on a "High Seas Adventure"! You have inspired children and their families to seek the treasure of God's love. We were all blessed by a great week of growing in faith. Can't wait 'til next year!
