VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL RECAP – JUNE 9-13, 2025
Theme: "Start the Party... Celebrate the Good News!"
What an incredible week we had at VBS! With 33 children and over 30 dedicated volunteers, our church was filled with energy, laughter, and the love of Jesus. Each day was packed with Bible stories, crafts, games, snacks, and a whole lot of fun—all centered around the joy of sharing and celebrating the Good News!
We also had the opportunity to support two wonderful mission projects:
Global Mission – We raised $394.53 for ELCA Good Gifts, which will go toward providing clean water resources in developing countries.
Local Mission – We collected 170 non-perishable food items to help those in need right here in our community for the Pilgrim Faith Food Pantry.
A huge thank you to all the volunteers who gave their time, energy, and hearts to make this week so special. Thank you once again to everyone who donated snacks, decorations, and misc. materials—your generosity made a big impact. We truly couldn’t have done it without each of you. Let’s keep the party going by continuing to share God’s love every day!
