VBS welcomes children for week of discovery

Young people are learning to see themselves as part of the global family - living in harmony with people, plants and animals. The curriculum, called Animal Crackers, is designed by Heifer International, an organization working to end hunger and poverty. Click on the video to experience a visit to the music room.
