I would like to invite everyone who helped with VBS in any way, as well as those helping with children’s Bible classes or children’s worship—to lunch on September 11. We’ll have chili and soup—and such. I would like to get feedback on things that went well at VBS as well as things we need to take a look at for next year. Rusty
Email me to let me know you can come!
O Sunday—91 students and 35 adults, plus approx 65 workers.
O Monday — 100 students and 32 adults, plus approx 65 workers.
O Tuesday — 90 students and 22 adults, plus approx 65 workers.
O Wednesday — we didn’t take role—but the place was full and “alive”.
Center Road is blessed with an army with serving hearts. We said over and over that no person’s help or contribution to the effort was unimportant. I want to dedicate the rest of this article to acknowledging them. I’ll try not to, but if I happen to miss someone, I’ll correct it in the future. I’m glad to say that I saw a bunch of “gooey” people this week — and that’s a good thing.
