Rocky Railway VBS Wrap-up
Our week of Vacation Bible School has ended, but the music and lessons live on in the hearts and minds of the 37 children who attended. It was possible because of the dedicated efforts of Pastor Shields and the 35 adults and teens who prepared and served supper for us all, lead all of the activities, and mentored each small group of kids through the week. And to the kids who inspire us.
Special thanks also go to all of the members who donated cash and/or food, Thrivent Financial for monetary support and t-shirts for our volunteers, and to Evangelical Covenant Church who shared their train construction with us.
The children collected more than $230 for EdPowerment, one of our church supported missions. Co-founded by Jillian Swinford, a member of the congregation, EdPowerment, has developed from simple support of a rural school in Moshi, Tanzania, to an organization with wide-ranging educational initiatives that provide for continued support of students going on to upper level education, and teacher training. For more information, search their website, www.EdPowerment.org.
We hope to see you all on Sunday, September 19, for our expanded Rally Day activities. Please let the church office know if you have a child who would like to join our Sunday School roster. (815-875-1685)
