Vacation Bible School 2008
Due to several factors, Vacation Bible School for 2008 has been canceled.
We are sorry for any disappointment caused by this decision. We just did not have enough families who indicated their intent to enroll their children nor did we have enough adult volunteers able to help with this year's program. Please plan to register for this great event next year - June 2009.
Congratulations!
