Become part of Bible history!  Join us for a week of exciting Bible learning at the “Jerusalem Marketplace” held July 21-25 from 9:00 AM-Noon. Jerusalem Marketplace immerses 3 year olds through 5th grade children in Bible-times culture, helping them explore what it might have been like to live when Jesus did.  Children will experience new traditions, taste new foods, try new arts and crafts projects, and discover that Jesus chose the cross because of his unfailing love for each of us.  Cost: $25/child.  Registration packets are available in the church office.  VBS Volunteers (adult and youth) are needed to help with crafts, games, stories and to act as group leaders.  Any amount of time you can give will be a blessing.  Questions: Contact Sandy Donnelly.
