VBS 2019 was a blast – PTL (praise the Lord)!
Director of Children’s Ministry Soon Pac Kim assembled a great team to develop our own VBS curriculum for first time. Theme was “Watering CAN: Life, Love, Power,” and our children, parents & teachers all loved it! We praise God for our beautiful children and thank all the volunteers for another incredible year!
