Approximately 70 children, adults, and VBS staff volunteers launched an exciting week that includes Bible study classes for all ages, crafts, music, recreation, and fellowship. Supper will be provided nightly. On Friday, June 9, a closing program will be held at 6 p.m. followed by supper. Hot dogs with all the fixins’ and beverages will be provided. Contributions of side dishes or desserts would be appreciated. Families and friends are invited to attend the final night’s activities. This year’s VBS is being sponsored by the six community churches: Union View Advent Christian Church, Collierstown Baptist, Collierstown Presbyterian, Collierstown United Methodist, Oxford Presbyterian, and the Mt. Horeb United Methodist churches.
