WORDS OF THANKS

Thank you for investing in our Summer Slam VBS ministry! We had a wonderful, committed group of leaders who made the week run smoothly. Thank you to everyone involved: those who helped with snack, games, groups, crafts, music – and to everyone who donated food or kept the team and children in their prayers throughout the week. Great things happened, and that was only made possible through the grace of God and the work of His people.

Continue to express your thanks and praise for God’s presence, provisions, and blessing as we journey through life.

Please be praying for one another during the week, inviting God to come and shape/prepare our hearts for His glory.
