Deacon's Corner
THEY HEARD THE "CALL"
"It was fun"
"Bible time was my favorite"
"Amazing experience"
"I couldn't go a day without getting marker on me"
"Awesome experience including getting to be a kid again and getting soaking wet on water day"
"To be involved in VBS is one of the greatest experiences I've ever had and I will keep coming back"
"Awesome helpers"
"The message hit our kids they really got it"
"Great fun, exhausting, but well worth it"
"It was a high energy packed week that may have left me tired but fulfilled at having been a part of this great ministry"
"Kim and her youth volunteers were such a team all of them working together. It was so awesome to see our youth having so much fun working with VBS"
This could be YOU! These are only a few quotes from some of the volunteers at Steel Lake's Vacation Bible School. Each year is fabulous and we think it can't get any better..... until the next year comes! Kim and her staff of volunteers were awesome and it truly was glorifying to God. I am sure He was looking down and smiling on our church and probably even laughing at some of our big kids (Cal and Saaam). Thank you again Kimmie for the dedication you have to our Lord, our church and especially our kids.
Love from your Deacons!
