Participants in the 2010 Galactic Blast Vacation School.

Galactic Blast Vacation Bible School was a HUGE success last week with 65 kids in attendance and for dinner 150 people each night! The kids had a great time learning about God's love for them. Thank You to our volunteers - the group leaders, the station leaders and the folks who helped in the kitchen and helped clean up - we couldn't have done it without you!!!
