Jerusalem Market Place - Vacation Bible School - Thank you! Thank you, thank you to everyone who helped out in big and small fashions to make VBS another great success. Once again we had over 70 children register and averaged 60 children per night including Friday. Now realize please that most of these children are coming without their parents telling them they have to go. The children of our community want to come and learn about Jesus. God is doing amazing things in this community through our outreach effort of VBS! Let's keep it up!!Crystal figured that between all the children, the helpers, and the adults from Sunday's Fun Day through the close of VBS, over 110 people were involved (not counting those who gave to the Support a Child Program). That is tremendous and shows a great commitment to the Great Commission. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done!
