We’d like to thank all volunteers who helped make our Vacation Bible Camp such a success. We had approximately 25 children and 20 teens and adults who shared God’s love with Bible stories, songs, crafts, games and activities. The highlight of our week was definitely ‘water day’ where the children enjoyed water activities including a fun water slide. Thank you to Mrs. Patsy Mollica for sharing her gift of music with all of us. We’d like to extend a huge 'thank you' to our Pastor Father Nally, and to Father Henry Ramirez and Father Ray Goodwin for sharing in the fun. Your lessons were inspiring and filled with joy! Lastly, thank you for your loving prayers and support.
