SKY! VBS

This year Group's theme for VBS was "Sky!" It was great fun! We had SO many volunteers and it was an amazing experience for the kids!
Sunday morning (our VBS begins on a Sunday evening each year) the congregation dressed in the volunteer shirts and we had a special time of dedicated prayer for VBS.
