Vacation Bible School

Thank you to all who took part in Vacation Bible School
at Grace the week of June 9-13!!!
Our theme for VBS this year was that Jesus is our, “True North,” and children ages 3 through 4th grade
attended. Here is a little more information about our VBS Theme: Guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan
adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As
kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today.
Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust.
He’s our True North! We had 81 children attend VBS this year. Special thanks to our VBS Superintendent,
Mrs Amy Pankow, for putting this year’s Vacation Bible School together and for the many people who were
involved in leading Bible Study & the children in song, helping with the food, leading games & crafts, and
planning this year’s VBS. We couldn’t have done it without your help!!!
VBS Mission Update – Operation Kid to Kid! In the month of June from the 9th
-13th at Grace’s Vacation
Bible School, our children learned about Operation Kid to Kid—a special mission to support children who
don’t have warm clothing for the winter months. Just $5 can provide up to $70 worth of warm clothing for
kids in need. What a blessing to be part of something that makes such a big impact! Throughout the week,
the boys and girls competed in a friendly challenge to see who could raise more for the mission. The stakes
were high… because if the girls won, Pastor Taggatz would get a pie in the face. If the boys won, it would be
Mrs. Pankow taking the pie! Well, Pastor got a taste of humble pie!!! Thank you to everyone who donated
so generously to this special cause and for making this week of VBS such a joyful and faith-filled
experience. God bless you all!
Here are the final totals:
• Boys: $308.11
• Girls: $423.42
Total raised: $731.53!
