"Daniel's Adventures", the theme of this year's Vacation Bible School, allowed the participants a glimpse into ancient Babylon. The Bible stories, games, music, and crafts were based on Daniel's and his friends' trials while being held captive in a strange land. The week-long event was held at Bridge Park in coordination with 6 other churches. Around 70 children and youth attended this year.
While the younger children were learning about God being with us in every circumstance, the youth performed hands-on service for a variety of groups including Home Base, the Community Garden, and the Community Table.
It was a wonderful week. Thank you to the folks from FBC who helped make it a success: Andrew Beck, Beverly Midgett, Melanie Stokely, Sandi Allen, Harold Messer, Arlin Middleton, Guy Hall, Cliff Kolk, John Dills, Jeff Mathis, Cheryl Beck, and Carol Cloer.
