VBS News

 
Grab a hammer, find a paintbrush, and put on your thinking caps. We're bringing a Workshop of Wonders to the kids at our Vacation Bible School! Your children will become Visioneers and use their imaginations as they meet people from the Bible who used what they had to produce something amazing with God, the one who works wonders! At WOW VBS, we will discover how the ordinary becomes extraordinary with God.
 
 
 
We will kick off VBS (Vacation Bible School), Sunday June 8th, at 5:30 p.m. at Reid Memorial Church.  Bring the family and a cover dish as we gather with our VBS Partners and Community of Faith: Church of the Good Shepherd, Reid Memorial Presbyterian, and Woodlawn Methodist.
