In August 2024, Cascade Adventist Church was excited to host their first Vacation Bible School since being founded 13 years ago and was greatly appreciated by the families in attendance! “Love Like an Ocean” provided a great theme to share the love of Jesus with families from the surrounding community.
Some parents commented that their children had attended other VBS programs in the area with high-tech drama and large numbers of attendees. The children said they loved the smaller size, personal attention and simplicity of Cascade Church's VBS, adding that they could "hardly wait" for the next day. One community family was so impressed they decided to send their children to the local church school for the 2024–2025 school year!
In December 2024, the VBS team planned a VBS reunion with a special Christmas event entitled "Make a Gift." Telling the Christmas story in a special way, it included the opportunity for families to give back to their community through projects for the local pediatric hospital ward.
Through the event, Cascade Church hopes to remain in touch with these new community connections, sharing love, prayers and invitations to next summer’s VBS. Please pray with Cascade Church that this outreach to the community will continue to grow.
Parents and children loved the simpler style and personal attention of the Cascade VBS program.
