This year, our VBS Missions Project focused on collecting items to donate to various schools in our community. The church family generously contributed many items that local schools need. Additionally, our kids at VBS participated in a healthy competition called the coin war, where all proceeds went toward purchasing these needed items as well.
Now we need to get it to the schools!
The Live It Out Packing Party is an opportunity for us to prepare all the donated items by bagging them up for the children at our four partner schools. We invite everyone to join us in the lobby right after the service on July 27 at every campus to help with this effort. Pizza will be served!
