We welcomed over 150 kids to Mystery Island this week! For kids through grade 5, drama, animal pals, snacks, crafts, and games all reinforced one truth: God’s name deserves our enthusiastic praise (Psalm 145:1). The middle school group focused on learning about God’s great love.

We want to give a big thank you to all our volunteers who made VBS a big success! If you’d like to help us follow up with families from our community, please contact Pastor Huffman at info@morningside.org. Awana begins in the fall, and next year’s VBS is set for June 5-8.
