Pray for VBS in Little River

It’s easy to take Vacation Bible School for granted. After all, it’s been around for more than 100 years.

Each summer VBS signs sprout up from church lawns with seasonal predictability. A question might be, Does it really do much good?

The only answer is, Absolutely! Results show that 1.1 decisions for Christ are made for each person trained as a VBS worker.

Let’s all pray for our children!
