Vacation Bible School 

The VBS Praise Party was enjoyed by an average of 62 enthusiastic students each day and also by the 20 volunteer leaders and helpers. At our Praise Party we worshiped God with our head, heart, hands, feet and souls.  The children learned Bible stories about how the Hebrews sacrificed and used their hands to create a place of worship for God. They also learned like Paul and Silas did in prison, to lift their hearts in prayer and song, no matter what is going on in life. We recorded the children singing so that each child received their own CD with CD holder that they made in crafts.

Our offering of $209.72 was sent to a local mission, H.I.S. K.I.D.S., Inc., the non-profit Christian ministry that works with children who have serious and terminal diseases such as cancer. Each day the students created fantastic crafts, played energetic games, had snacks, and used movement and song to celebrate and worship God.

Our Praise Party ended with a high celebration held at the 9:30 worship service on July 18. The children and Pastor Will presented several songs worshipping God using our Head, Heart, Hands, Feet and Soul.  Thank you to everyone who helped in any way in making this Vacation Bible School a success and a real Praise Party!!

How to Sing Along and Enjoy It!

If you sit in the pews on Sunday mornings, baffled by the hymns and praise songs, here is an opportunity to take the mystery out of it.  Beginning August 4, Lisa Neal will provide some navigational tools to help you feel more comfortable singing along.  Topics addressed will be: the parts of a hymnal, reading a hymn (notes, words and symbols), following new praise songs, and basic singing technique.  No one will have to sing by themselves.  This group will meet each Wednesday in August from 7:00 - 8:00pm.
