Vacation Bible School for 2010 will be a Baobab Blast! Children age 3 through grade 6 will take part in one of our three programs designed for their developmental needs. They will all learn Bible stories focused around God's Great Get Together using the African Savannah and the baobab tree as a gathering place to build a community. It will be held on July 19-23. Vacation Bible School is open to all children in the community, with older children volunteering as helpers. All are encouraged to register with their friends for this year's program. Vacation Bible School serves as a role model for nurturing young disciples and for sharing our faith with others.
Amy Gallagher is the director of Vacation Bible School.
