A “Stellar” VBS for 2023!

This year’s Vacation Bible School centered around a space theme, with the motto “Shine Jesus’ Light.” Just like a star, we are reminded to continuously shine with Jesus’ teachings in mind. All astronauts enjoyed fantastic voyages each day with science, arts and crafts, story time, recreation, cinema, and of course, snacks!

Thank you to our volunteers! You made this happen! We want to send a “stellar” thank you to Molly Coleman, Anna Garcia, Rachel Williams, and Sara Rumph. Also, thank you to parents and children for your donations to the Ukraine Ministries! Because of your giving, our children in orphanages will receive $1512.71! We’d also like to announce that our Space Rangers group raised the most money for this important mission!

Thank you again for a successful week of VBS!

As you take flight into new chapters of your lives, always know that St. Paul is your church home We hope and pray for your futures. Let your hearts, now and always, be filled by Him.

From Colossians 3:

¹⁶Let your hearts be filled with the word of Christ. Be very wise when you teach people and help them to understand what is right and wrong. Sing with music. Sing praises and Christian songs. Sing to the Lord with praise in your hearts.

¹⁷Whatever you say, or whatever you do, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. Give thanks to God the Father through Jesus.
