“La frontera: Where Jesus Meets
Us”
2016 Vacation Bible School was a great success!
Working with Trinity Episcopal
and sharing our resources, talents, and facilities once again proved
beneficial to all involved.
Twenty+ children attended the program; learning about the woman at the well, the good Samaritan, and finding Jesus wherever they are...all the while building new relationships with adults and older youth.
Ryan and Stacy, the counselors from Camp Mount Luther, did a great job leading the music and Bible studies, and opening and closing the program each night. It was a blessing to have them with us.
Twelve of our youth assisted all week, taking charge of games and helping with crafts and with the group leaders. They were: Stefan Weber, Jonah Schreckengast, Sean Jensen, Evan Barone, Hannah Haussmann, Dawson Owen, Owen Gair, Taylor Wentzel, Grace Schreckengast, and Sadie Wentzel. A special thanks goes to Taylor, Jonah, Grace, and Sadie, who helped paint and set up here at St. Mark’s the week before the event.
Assisting both here and at Trinity were Brenda Gair, Vicki Haussmann, Michele Owen, Pr. Elkin, Bernadette Jones, Becky Miller Pryor, Janet Jones, Bob Miller, Connie Shaible, Deb Buckman, and Lou DeSeau. Many thanks also go out to those from Trinity who helped with the program, especially Fr, Ken, Delores, Becky, Crystal, Nicole, and their secretary, Sherri.
