Before it ended, many participants were already looking forward to this year's session. This summer, the Hilton area churches will again be hosting VBS -- HOMETOWN NAZARETH WHERE JESUS WAS A KID. The VBS Steering Committee is hard at work planning for an exciting four-night program July 29-August 1 (Monday through Thursday) at 5-8 p.m. This is a marvelous outreach opportunity to bring the Good News to families in our churches and community and to cultivate a lifetime faith for the participants. There will be numerous volunteer opportunities for kitchen staff to help prepare and serve simple dinners, shepherds to lead the groups to their activities, as well as leaders and helpers in crafts, recreation, and music. Please consider your talents and how you can contribute to a successful VBS. When we have a volunteer roster, we'll know the number of students we can accept. We're hoping to accept more kids this year! To put your name on the volunteer list, please contact Laura Abbitt or Melissa Sale.
