Hero Central Vacation Bible School
We had 8 children attend Vacation Bible School June 19 – 23. Many giggles and smiles were heard and seen throughout the week. It was a great time.
Our Hero theme helped us to demonstrate how to use our heart, courage, wisdom, hope and power to be examples of God’s love in our families and community. The Bible Stories, Science, Crafts, Games, Snacks, and Music all centered around our theme. On the last day the parents were invited to come and party with us. Pizza and cake were served.
