2011 Vacation Bible School!
In a world that is always searching for the “next big thing”, God, His Word, His Promise, and the Gospel remain unchanged.
This summer’s Vacation Bible School program, KICKING IT OLD SCHOOL by the Go Fish Guys, einforced this concept through an 80’s “old school” rock and roll concert environment.
We started and ended each day with a “concert” and “encore” time of worship. Children then took their backstage VIP passes and their Bibles to gain entrance into some of the cool back stage areas of Vacation Bible School.
