Spirit Lake VBS Focuses on Jesus

By Ruth Edwards, Ruth Edwards, September 18, 2014

The theme for the Spirit Lake, Idaho, Vacation Bible School was “Jesus Is My Friend.”

Children came from as far as 25 miles away to enjoy the Bible stories about Jesus, to participate in crafts, to engage in water games, and to enjoy petting the goat and the lamb that VBS friends had brought.

The program was planned and directed by Romilda Davis and Janeen Mason. Shannon Stout was in charge of crafts, and Tim Rodenbough and Daniel Triebwasser supervised outdoor activities. The entire church prayed for the program and financed it through a weekly offering collected by the children.
