VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL PRAISE REPORT The 2017 Vacation Bible School was a tremendous success. We had a total of 178 children enrolled in the morning and evening sessions. Seven children made the decision to accept Christ as their Savior! Praise God! Donations from VBS kids, their families and our GBC families totaled $2392 for sponsorship of 7 children in Haiti. (Our original goal had been to sponsor 4! God provided exceedingly abundantly) We would like to thank the 78+ volunteers and especially Sheryl Vandyke, Kate Mullaney, Amy Hargrove and Kaylene Sullen for all of their hard work organizing this event. Thank you also to those who came to help decorate the church and those who helped clean up and got the church ready on Sunday. It really took the whole church body to make it happen and we hope Makendy Similien, Age: 14 Grade: Fourth Grade Rosena Pierre, Age: 13 Grade: Fifth Grade Judelet Torbeck, Age: 10 Grade: Fourth Grade Three Additional Kids will get to go to school thanks to VBS!!! Cassadia Myrthil, Age: 5 Grade: Pre-School III Stanley Joseph, Age 7 Meran Estha, Age 7 David Laguerre, Age 7
