Vacation Bible Camp this year was held virtually from Monday, June 29th through Friday, July 3rd from 9:00am to 10:30am. Eighteen wonderful children Zoomed! 

 All of the crafts, materials, supplies and even snacks were provided for each day; these were placed in labeled bags and made ready for pick up, on the Friday before V.B.C. began. 

Every morning Dr. David Young (from his cabin in Minnesota) talked to the children about the Beauty That Is All Around. There was a perfect, natural scenery in the background while he discussed the Bible verse of the day. 

Allison Schmitz started Movin “N” Groovin with the children for a good twenty-minute workout. What a talent those kids have, and what a bundle of energy Allison is. 

After Movin “N” Groovin, Shannon Ebers introduced the fun craft of the day followed by the children’s choice of snack from their bags. Mary Lou Jackman would sing their favorite songs. Every day, together we end with peace, love and blessings to all. 

On the last day of V.B.C. (July 3rd) the parents paraded to church with their children in the car. We decorated the parking lot with red, white, and blue, and gave each child a beach bucket filled with goodies. 

We surely miss your children very much; thank you, parents for sharing them with us. It was really fun, especially when we asked them daily to write messages to each other on the white board. It was a rewarding experience to see the children connecting with one another again; together, even if apart. We are looking forward to having them zoom “live” in the church again! 

Peace, love and blessings,
