We had a tremendous VBS program this week.
Thank you to all who helped!
Here are the attendance totals:
June 17 – 165 students – 75 staff – 240 total
June 18 – 180 students – 72 staff – 252 total
June 19 – 173 students – 88 staff – 261 total
June 20 – 195 students – 81 staff – 276 total
June 21 – 198 students – 80 staff – 278 total
PLEASE BE PATIENT as we continue in the final stage of our building program. We were pleased to use the big room on the upper level for VBS. Work in the old basement will begin as carpet and dividers are removed. The elevator is being worked on; that will take 3 to 4 weeks to complete. Final touches are being done in the kitchen and bathrooms. Please be careful and patient as you move around the building.
Randy and Melanie Umble are our Missionaries serving in Ecuador. They are visiting with family and will speak to the Sunday School on July 8.
