The theme for this year's VBS was "The King's Request." Using 4 different kings from the Old Testament, the children learned about God's power, wisdom, holiness, and mercy. The last day King Josiah's life emphasized loving the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. There were many new kids who were at our church for the first time and many kids from our weekly children's Bible club.

The youngest class - 4 to 6 year olds. The little girl up front on the left is Grecia. She was a new girl this week and such a very bright and interested student. On her way to our closing program Sunday morning she was hit by a car and suffered a broken collar bone. She's all right, but we would appreciate your prayers for her recovery. Her mother is a believer and we were able to visit her after church this evening.
