2024 Camp Firelight VBS has come to an end. During VBS week, 23 children and 29 caring adults and youth helpers had a wonderful time together. 23 children and 29 caring adults and youth helpers had a wonderful time together. The VBS Campers learned the lesson that “Whenever we are afraid, we can put our trust in God.” Many thanks to all for your prayers for a successful VBS week. It was a spiritual, fun, faith-filled, and meaningful week. We had a terrific week, and it was hard saying goodbye to the Campers and the incredible volunteers who made this week so special. Our Firelight Focus was to trust God to spark joy. In the story sessions, we learned that the Spirit of God filled the early followers of Jesus with so much joy and courage. In the science activities, we made a mixture that was both a solid and a liquid. We had a lot of fun in recreation. During the closing session, we sang Camp Firelight songs for one last time. One lucky Camper won the Lu/Lumen the Lightning Bug Puppet.
