Week-long Vacation Bible School on 12th St.!












Project Life held our first VBS on 12th St April 25-29. Fifty five children were enrolled and participated in this well planned event! Cathy and Connie had the help of their trained, volunteer workers. The week's program was capped with a beautiful graduation ceremony attended by parents and other family members. The children dressed in their finest clothes (many wore their school uniforms) and the graduation was held in an orderly fashion (highly unusual behavior here at 12th St.!!), including the march of graduates, awards and picture taking. The theme was "the lost world" a jurrassic park type theme complete with a 6 foot tall dinosaur, courtesy of Church of the Risen Christ!

Vacation Bible School at Alibang


Our 12th St. leaders and youth, plus Alycia and Sarah, helped Connie and Cathy in providing a Vacation Bible School in the rural area of Alibang. The people there are sweet and gentle and the surroundings are so peaceful.
Children ages 4-11 gathered for the day to pray, sing, play games and learn about the bible and the One who loves them. There was much laughter and singing! Tina opened in prayer, the youth led worship and taught the children songs with lots of hand motions and dance, then Cathy and Connie and volunteer helpers separated the kids by age and taught lessons and activities.
