Summary of VBS 2009 with photos included

We had another great week at CLLC 2009 VBS, Gadget’s Garage!  You can be assured that each activity was someone’s favorite.  We had 68  students enrolled.  

It was great to have Gizmo be part of our final celebration – definitely one clever robot! J

We had 35 volunteers that led activities and/or assisted during the week.  What a blessing our volunteers are!  The sanctuary was filled on the Final Sunday Worship Celebration and most took part in the carnival and picnic.   Way to go Susan Gaertner for coordinating the picnic and Carola Thomas for coordinating the carnival!

Offerings received for the week included:

Hopefully our mission donations will help many needy children In Steuben County.
