First Presbyterian Church, Demopolis held VBS June 20th through the 24th. The theme for this year’s Vacation Bible School was “The Disciples Distinctives.” Students and teachers studied the scriptures to reveal characteristics that accurately describe the disciples of Jesus. They found that disciples of Jesus are called, confronted, changed, committed, and commissioned.
Each day children enjoyed studying these Bible truths, memorizing scriptures, learning songs, seeing puppet skits, playing outdoors during recreation time, eating delicious, healthy snacks, and creating fun crafts. We had a daily high attendance of 59 with an average attendance of 47. More than 24 adults and teens volunteered to help out throughout the week. Each day an offering was received to help pay tuition for students who attend Isaiah 55 Ministries School in Reynosa, Mexico. Isaiah 55 Ministries is a Christian school that ministers specifically to deaf children. A total offering of more than $700 was received during the week.
