2024 VBS.jpg

Vacation Bible School

We had a great time in 2024 at Camp Firelight VBS! We teamed up with
our neighbors next door and learned that we can trust God no matter
what comes our way! Each week included singing, Bible stories, science
experiments, crafts, play, and dinner. Our mission focus was to take
the Pledge to Spread Inclusion and to donate funds to Special Olympics
Illinois. Our VBS Celebration was capped off with ice cream and a
bubble show. Hope to see you next year!
