VBS Children to Sing Sunday
|
|
9:30 a.m. Service to Feature Vacation Bible School
|
Join us this Sunday as the children who attended Vacation Bible School this week will sing at the very beginning of the 9:30 a.m. service. The preschool through fifth graders will sing some of the songs they learned during their VBS adventure to Israel, where they focused on Moses' journey through the wilderness.
We hope to see you then!
