VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

 

 - SUBMERGED -

The Submarine has made way to the open Fairview sea!!! 

Our captains have taken their command posts for teaching, snacks, games and crafts!  We have now 30 children (and counting!!) registered for VBS to join our crew. 

Should you have an interest in helping and you haven’t had an opportunity to execute your SOS call, please let Val Petrie know and she will find a submarine station for you.  You will start to see decorations and some of our church areas visibly change to our underwater world as our VBS time approaches.  What for scuba divers, coral, sea turtles and even jelly fish! 

Thanks again for those who are giving of their times and talents for our church, community and youth.  VBS will SUBMERGE on June 21, 22 and 23 from 9:00 to 11:30 each day for ages 5 to 10. 

All shipmates welcome!!!
