Vacation Bible School Update
SHAKE IT UP CAFE - VBS 2011
It is exciting to announce that SLPC's Vacation Bible School reached over 125 children this summer! Each day at VBS, children and volunteers shook it up through Bible story time, recreation, crafts, music, classroom time, and snacks. Kids met new friends, created lasting memories, and most importantly, learned the secret ingredients in how to carry out God's recipes.
 VBS only happens with the assistance of many, many people. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of you who prayed for a successful VBS week, those who generously donated money and supplies, and those who brought in snacks and beverages for our volunteers. You are truly appreciated!
As the director of Shake It Up Cafe VBS, I had the sincere pleasure of working with the most amazing people. These volunteers would enthusiastically tackle each day, sharing their love for the Lord with all the chefs in training. Thank you all for giving of your time and talents to impact the lives of the young people of our church and community.
Blessings,
KIM ERICKSON
