What a week we had at VBS! Bethlehem turned into "Power Lab," complete with science experiments and amazing service projects. We sang our hearts out, ran ‘til we dropped,' invited friends, and learned some great stories from the Bible. Thanks to all who made it happen, the...crew Leaders, station leaders, and assistants, decorating team, youth band and A/V techies, hospitality folks and photographers, snack servers, nursery crew, clean-up team, members who donated or lent supplies and decorations or said a prayer, kids and parents who brought them! Thanks for helping to nurture the faith of kids! Here's the week in pictures. [0]
