VBS Jerusalem Marketplace - Help us “Raise the Dough”

For every $10 you donate, a loaf of bread with your name on it will go into the Vacation Bible School (VBS) “bakery”! (See display by the main entrance to the church). VBS is open to the community - there is no charge to attend, and many families in our community cannot afford to make a donation. The money you give provides funding for the snacks, Bible curriculum, and the craft items used by all of the children during VBS. Mark your check or giving envelope “VBS” and put it in the offering plate or bring it to the church office. Thank you!
