We were blessed to welcome 252 kids and 178 amazing volunteers who made it all possible. Every volunteer made a difference. From teaching Bible lessons and leading Good Shepherd Mission stations to welcoming families at registration, preparing snacks, helping with crafts, serving on the security team, guiding small groups, decorating, and handling countless behind-the-scenes responsibilities, each person played an important role in making VBS a meaningful and unforgettable week.

While the games, laughter, and activities made for an unforgettable experience, the greatest joy was sharing the truth about Jesus. Throughout the week, we had the opportunity to shine a light on who Jesus is and the incredible love He has for each one of us. Our volunteers truly served as the hands and feet of Jesus, reflecting His love through their kindness, encouragement, and faithful service.

Thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, and hearts to make this week such a success. We are grateful for all God did through VBS and look forward to seeing how He continues to work in the lives of these children and their families.

In Women’s Bible study, we are growing in the Lord as we read and study His Word, and we are enjoying meaningful friendships by being together. This study uses the English Standard Version and is an inductive Bible study with questions that direct us to observe, interpret, reflect, and apply what we have learned.

The Bible itself will be our source of information as we learn what the text says, what it means, and how to live what we learn. God communicates to us, and our part in hearing Him is a willingness to set aside time to look at what the Scripture is saying, thereby drawing us into a closer relationship with Him.
