Last
week more than 30 young people participated in United Methodist Vacation
Bible School despite the rainy days.
" It was a
challenge this year with the rainy days,"
said Sharon McKenzie, director of
education at the church. And it's
only the beginning for the older kids who will be going on a summer
missions program throughout Florida for a week starting on June 27.
" The kids
always get so much out doing something like this. They always grow
spiritually and come back renewed in so many ways,"
said McKenzie.

Currently, the teens meet weekly on Friday evenings
for fellowship and fun under the direction of Mark and Ruthann
Spurgeon, she said.
" They
either get together at the church office or at the Spurgeons’
home,"
she said.
In the meantime, the foundation for the expanded
sanctuary has been laid with hopes of perhaps being able to worship
in the church by Christmas. Lord willing. |
