Thank you:

Thank you to every family who brought their children to VBS this week and to the many hands and hearts who made it all possible. Your time, prayers, and presence helped make this week an uplifting, joy-filled opportunity to pour the love of Jesus into the lives of our children. 

Our theme, Hearts Fit for God’s Kingdom, reminded us each day to live out godly character. We learned through: 

• David – a heart of devotion 
• Esther – a heart of boldness 
• Joshua – a heart of courage 
• Daniel – a heart of integrity 
• Pharaoh’s Daughter – a heart of compassion 

What a beautiful week of growing hearts that reflect His Kingdom. Thank you for being a part of it!
