Hey Everyone! I pray you are having a great sunny start to your weekend. The VBS kits for those who have registered are ready for pickup. You can grab them Sunday before or after church service or between 2-5pm Sunday afternoon. I will be at the church so if you text you are on your way I will gladly do curbside delivery!!

There is one activity that is delicate so please handle your bags with care. If you find your Treasure Ball broken, we tried our best to place them to avoid this but accidents happen. I am linking below the website that tells you how to make it if yours is broken and you want to try to recreate it.

I will continue to provide kits to those who would like one. I will adapt the kits appropriately as the weeks pass but they are available for anyone who would still like one for kids, nieces, nephews, grand kids or neighbor children, you need only reach out!

Good Afternoon Families! I pray you are all having a great day today and taking time to enjoy the sunshine!
Just wanted to pop in and remind you the movie for Sunday May 17th is Annie and I hope you get the chance to watch it! I love this movie! The music and the acting is so fun!

Good Morning Families! I pray you all had a wonderful Easter Sunday. I certainly missed being at the church with all of you, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Wagner kids do the Easter Story. You all were FABULOUS!!!!!!
I just wanted to pop in and share the clues and the next movie for our Sunday series.

I wasn’t able to find a free version of the movie so I pray you all find a way to see it. If not like last week I will share a quick overview of the movie for you! Love and Prayers, Mrs. Victoria

I just wanted to say Happy Easter, We serve a risen and powerful God who will conquer this corona virus just as he conquered the grave! There is nothing we need to fear when we walk in the knowledge of that Truth! I know it doesn’t feel like Easter and things seem bleak but shout a HALLELUJAH so loud that the devil and his spirit of fear run away today! JESUS IS ALIVE!!!!
