The Vine will meet on Wednesday, August 7 from 9:00 to 10:30. The Vine is open to all children (and their parents) age 4 and younger. It is a morning full of fun activities and interactive learning. Most importantly, we will share with these children the forgiving love of Jesus.
A HUGE thank you goes out to everyone who helped give our children a memorable week of Vacation Bible School. God blessed us with a great week and a great group of children who heard about Jesus every day – and had a lot of fun doing it!

School parents – Please remember to register your child(ren) for the 2018-2019 school year on the TADS registration portal. Need help? Shoot me text, call or email anytime. Happy to assist! The other GLS teachers and I look forward to seeing everyone back to school in a few weeks.
Each year, WELS schools throughout the region join together under one theme. The school year theme is then worked into the daily and weekly happenings throughout the school year. The theme for the 2018-2019 school year is “Walk with God – Talk with God.”
Thank you to all the kids participating and everyone who helped make “Splash Canyon” a fun time during our VBS this past week! Good to say see all the kids enjoying themselves and learning more about Jesus!
