Greetings from Weippe Wesleyan! Gradi sends us the Wesleyan news… What an awesome week! Vacation Bible school was a great success! We had a total of 72 participants. There were a lot of kids and adults alike who saw just how great God is last week, and we all had so much fun.
We played games, did crafts, made indoor s’mores, Pastor Don thrilled the kids with stories of Peter "The Rock" and illustrated meaningful points with the help of his birds. Every morning we were entertained by a skit put on by awesome actors and actresses. I could go on and on with all the fun we had! All I can say is if you didn't make it this year make sure you join us next year for loads of fun.
We appreciated all those that volunteered and made Vacation Bible School a huge success! We couldn't have done it without you.
