Our Vacation Bible School was a great success this year with attendance running in the 60s. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our Christian Education Chair, Diane Hess and Susan Shipman who was in charge of the preparations, planning, training the staff and overseeing the activities. This does not take away from the vast amount of time and effort put forth by all the teachers, helpers, planners, food service and all others who helped make this a truly educational experience for our children. We all know that while we must have good leaders, they cannot do it alone! Many of the children attending were from the neighborhood, not members of ORLC. This is good! That is of course one of our goals, to bring the story of Christ to all.

Our VBS closing was held on Friday evening, June 11th. This started with a "Hot Dog and Barbecue Sandwich" dinner. Of course there were all the other extras that make such a meal complete. A special thank you to all those responsible for procuring and preparing this meal. Approximately 175 to 180 people attended the dinner and closing program. Our children were anxious to demonstrate the songs and stories they had learned during the week.
