VBS July 10th thru 14th, 2016

“Finding Truth Below the Surface”

As kids submerge themselves in God’s Word, they will discover that Jesus didn’t just see what’s on the outside of people. He looked deep down on the inside. So grab your goggles, step

into your flippers, and dive in to find truth below the surface!

If you are interested in helping at VBS this year, please

contact Linda Fulmele or Nicole Grove.

You can be part of making a

great first impression. Join the

Parking Lot Greeter Team– a

new ministry opportunity at the

West York Church. There is a

sign-up sheet in the narthex for

those interested in helping with

this ministry. For more

information, contact Ken Miller.
