VBS Adult Class Speakers
We are truly looking forward to our Vacation Bible School next week. Our theme is “God’s Big Back Yard,” and we will be focusing on service to different people with whom we come in contact.
Some congregations choose not to have an adult class for VBS, since many adults are helping teach and helping in other areas. We have decided not only to have an adult class, but our elders wanted me to get good speakers to come in and present lessons for our adults who are not working each evening. We feel we have selected a great group of men.
