Vacation Bible School

More than 50 children gathered together July 27-31 for Vacation Bible School.

This year, the host church was New Promise Lutheran Church, which conducted Bible School with Shepherd of the Hills United Methodist Church and Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church.

The theme was "Surfing the Word." The beach served as a backdrop for Bible games, lessons, singing,
crafts and
recreational
activities.

Children who
attended all
received T-
shirts and
brought home
the crafts that
they made during VBS.

Funds raised from offerings from the children and their congregations will go to the Learning Center for Families, which helps children with developmental issues catch up

to children their age.

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped the children learn about the love of Jesus while having fun all week long.

Our church works with the Lutheran, Episcopal and Presbyterian churches to provide an ecumenical Bible School each summer.

Plans will be under way soon for the 2009 Bible School. If you would like to help in that process, please call the church office at 627-8638.

All youths in sixth through 12th grades are invited to take part in LTE -- Live The Example. This group of youth meets every other Wednesday for a time of fun and fellowship.

If you would like to participate or would like to assist with the organization and planning for LTE, call the church office at 627-8638.
