During the week of August 3-7, SMPC hosted Vacation Bible School for children ages 3 through 6th grade. Over 170 children and 85 adult and youth volunteers participated in Camp E.D.G.E. where they were "Experiencing and Discovering God Everywhere!"
Each day the children learned an "E.D.G.E. Pledge", a statement of faith followed by an active response of faith. These became the core of educational piece for this week's VBS program:
God is with me. I will stay close to God.
God guides me. I will follow.
God teaches me. I will learn.
God loves me. I will love God and others.
God sends me. I will go.
Families also had the opportunity to donate items to a number of local charities, which the 6th graders delivered each day during their outreach projects. What a fantastic and fun week we all had together!
