Vacation Bible School Registration Form (.DOC format)

Vacation Bible School

The first week of August youth and adults from Portage and surrounding communities celebrated the power that Jesus gives us. Over 200 children representing 19 different churches participated during the week. We are fortunate to have such a great working relationship with Portage United Methodist Church who served as our host site.

Thank you to all those who donated items and served as VBS staff to make Vacation Bible School a wonderful week for our children. A special thank you to Stacy Macomber and Kerry Melby for all the work they did to organize the week for us.
