TODAY:

Thank You to everyone who helped make Vacation Bible School such a wonderful success.

Son Rock Kids Camp was really “rocking” with children from our church family and the community. Little hearts were touched by the kindness and Bible teachings from their counselors. A LOT of WORK went into the program and what a joy to see how people came together in the Spirit of Christ to make this week possible.
