Open to children 4 years old to 8th grade. JUNE 14 - 18, 2004


This is our yearly Vacation Bible School. It is generally held the week after the local public school lets out for summer vacation and is open to children ages 5 through the completion of the 8th grade.

We had a good turn out this year for our Vacation Bible School.

** I was going to post a few pictures from some of the activities, but was advised against it. This is due to the sensitivity of posting young peoples pictures on the web without parental consent.

It is my prayer the we will see many fruits of our labours and be able to come back to do it again in 2005.

Joshua’s Victory Through Obedience is the story of Joshua’s leadership in guiding the people of Israel to overthrow Jericho, the first city in their conquest of Canaan.

Job’s Victory Through Patience portrays Job’s extreme test of character brought about by none other than Satan himself. Job was a man above reproach who lost everything in one disastrous day. His fascinating story shows unblemished integrity as he maintains faith in God, though he did yield to questioning the Lord about it all. His amazing victory in maintaining his faith resulted in God’s abundant blessings following the time of testing.

His actions and words proved his faith in the living God who answers prayer. Elijah’s amazing victory over the idol worshipers influenced the people of Israel to return to godly worship.
