Vacation Bible School. 41 children attended for all or part of the week. Special thanks to everyone who helped make this year’s VBS a success: Pam Bohrer, Janet Beyea, Heidi Acosta, Ann Boisvert, Lee Shigley, and Holly Doolittle were here daily, as well as youth assistants Jon White, Deanna Gangstad, Anna Marie Hernandez, Gabe Zona-Moya, and Makenna Miller. Pastor Mike was a very popular Science Guy, and Pastor Jon stepped in for music while other music staff were unavailable. Angela Gangstad changed hats to help us out daily. Walt Heise and Jack Volkman contributed wooden plaques for crafts, and many of the rest of you donated various items which went from quite possibly trash to treasure in the past week. Thank you all.

Special thanks to Mary Hoogterp who worked very hard all week to make sure the kids had a good time! Please stop by the table in the narthex to check out the pictures and some of the crafts and booklets the kids worked on during the week!
