Lake Stevens Family Church

Greetings Family Church :

This past week has been absolutely incredible as we finished up our week of Vacation Bible School (VBS). Kids were learning all about the 10 commandments, reciting their memory verses, bringing back friends each day, bringing their Bibles and participating in an offering contest. They won prizes & lots of candy, played games, made incredible art projects, had fun snacks, learned some new worship songs & most of all learned about God’s love. Thank you to all who participated & gave to make this week happen.

This Sunday our VBS kids will be singing one of their worship songs during the 2^nd service. If your kids attended VBS, please plan on having them at church by 10:45 so they can participate. They will not want to miss out!!!

As we finish up the month of August, I encourage you to be at church. There’s no better way to finish out the summer season & begin the fall then to put God first in your life. May God continue to bless each one of you!!!

See you all Sunday,

Pastor Virgil
