New Monmouth Presbyterian Church is thankful for a fun-filled week of vacation Bible school as we learned about how God led the people “Out of Egypt.” Each day the children had a visit from “Grandpa Aaron” who told them about God’s acts of deliverance from the book of Exodus. Thirty children, seven youths, and many, many adults participated in the week’s activities. On the final night of VBS, family members were invited to enjoy a pizza dinner as well as sing along with all the songs the children learned. Thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy, talents, and resources to make the week a success!
