At the end of the final day of VBS, the children sang the songs they
learned all week for their parents, grandparents and friends.
Several of the VBS leaders also talked about the various things the
children learned at each of the activities during the week.

Also, on the following Sunday morning, many of the children
and their parents joined us for church service where the children
sang their songs and the leaders talked about the things their
children experienced during the week.

 

 

Meet Ziva!
Each day, Ziva was subtly placed around the church and the
children were to supposed to report where they saw her. 
These are the ones to first spot her each day.

Sadly, VBS week came to a close.  The children had fun while
learning and the volunteers had great pleasure in teaching them.

Let us pray.

Lord, thank you for bringing these children to us & giving us the
opportunity to teach them about the many ways You and your
son Jesus helped the people of long ago and how You
are in our lives today.  Bless these young lives
that they may grow to follow You, Trust in You,
Trust in Jesus and & be Your disciples.  Amen.

 

 

Thank You!

Thank you, parents, for allowing us to teach your children during
their time at "Roar!", VBS 2019.  We hope their experiences during
the week at VBS will be a lasting memory that they will pass on to others
so that they too will trust in both our God and Lord Jesus that they will be
there when life is unfair, life is scary, life changes, life is sad and life is good!

Thanks to Andrea Loft, our VBS Director, to those who donated
food & other supplies, made props and to those who volunteered
