Fellowship and Service Opportunities


2023 VBS

It’s amazing how you have ideas for VBS and wonder, how can this work, but it does. We had some awesome people from our church and the UCC church willing to help.

 

Two weeks before VBS we started to decorate Luther Hall and saw the plans that Donna Cassarella had come to life. Making a food truck out of cardboard, big enough to fit the TV in it!  Ice cream cones on the poles and turning the Blessing Booth into an ice cream booth. A place for the music and the daily lessons of the day and a craft area. It was a wonderful thing to watch our ideas come together.

 We had 23 children, 10 older helpers, and many adults each day. Each day the children had a Bible Lesson by Pastor Michele and music by Linda Snyder, different crafts by Janet Brady, and games led by Sherry Grenzberg. Daily snacks were planned and provided by Dorlene Van Horn and the UCC church next door.

 At the closing program on Friday, we showed the parents what their children learned during the 5 days of VBS. Just watching the children having fun and the excitement to show their families the songs they had learned was such a great feeling.  At the end of the program, everyone was invited over to the UCC church for a picnic lunch. The children took home the bag of crafts that they made. We would like to thank everyone who made this year’s VBS happen.

God is Great, God is Good!
