Raysville held VBS June 1-5. Volunteers from 5 churches joined hands to serve for a total of 24 VBS workers. Raysville was blessed with 41 learners, 4 salvations, and 1 baptism. Praise God!!
Bethesda VBS director Brett McKinney shares, "We had a great time June 1-4! We had between 25 and 30 kids each night. All of the children participated and did well."
Pleasant Grove held our VBS June 8 - 12. We had an average attendance of 30 each night. Adults and children alike enjoyed learning about how Jesus is the Light of the world. Each night, we were served a light supper, worshiped during opening assembly, studied Bible stories, did hands-on crafts and learned about missionaries in Kenya and Wyoming.
Sharon VBS director Mrs Carol Farr shares, "VBS at Sharon on June 15-19 was a blessing. We had a class for everyone ages 4 -adults. Our largest class was our youth group.
Approximately 20 adults volunteered nightly to teach the Bible story or help with crafts, music, or games. One child invited Jesus into his heart. We had an average nightly attendance of 127. It was so much fun learning about letting your Light shine for Jesus."

Take Flight:
Trusting God's Faithfulness Above All
"Know that the Lord, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture." Psalm 100:3
​
Invite kids to soar above life’s turbulence and discover God’s faithfulness at Take Flight VBS! You will help kids learn that God can be trusted no matter what: when they’re alone, when bad things happen, when they disobey, when they don’t understand, and when following Him is tough.
