Vacation Bible School (VBS)

We are so grateful for everyone who volunteered for VBS. We had a fantastic group of children, many of whom were members and many of whom were new to Shepherd.

April Voigtmann did a fantastic job leading the program during the week. We also want to thank station leaders,
Sharon Van Velzer, Monet Grzecka, Melayna Moore, Caitlin Arndt and Pastor Bryan for making all of this possible.

To view pictures from the week, visit our website.

We look forward to seeing everyone at VBS next year!
