Vacation BIble School 2008 --- A Rainforest Adventure... VBS co-coordinators, Jennifer Graessle & Laura Sneary, are in the process of contacting last year’s volunteers and those who’ve selected VBS on their Time and Talents Survey.

Do you want to help but can’t volunteer that week? You can still contribute to the success of this year’s program in the way of:

Sponsoring a dinner
Sponsoring a craft night
Sponsoring a science night

Other Classes - First Communion Class and First Bible Class. We use the Faith Stepping Stones curriculum that highlight entry into Sunday School for 3 year olds, 7th grade entry into catechism, 3rd grade reception of Bibles, First Communion and high school graduation.
