Did You Miss Family VBS?
Our first Virtual Family Vacation Bible School (FVBS) was a hit! Our hearts were encouraged and our souls ministered to through praise, worship, laughter and of course, the timely word from our senior pastor to help us reset our lives! If you missed any part of The Comeback: Resetting Your Life or just want to relive FVBS, you can watch it on our YouTube channel. And don’t forget to subscribe and hit the bell so you will be notified each time we add new content.
Please be safe and have a great Fourth of July weekend! We’ll see you on Sunday.
