What a blast!! A big thank-you to everyone who helped make the event a success and a special thanks to Vicki Keller for organizing this wonderful event!! (Click Here for Photos)

The Kids had a great time at the first night of Bible School. There was music, crafts, snacks, lessons and even a drama where the kids traveled back in time 2000 years in a time machine. Be sure to come and bring a friend!! Don't forget that Thursday night is the SonWorld Adventure Park Block Party!! Be sure to be ready to try your aim at Pastor Joe in the dunking machine!
