EXPERIENCE + DISCOVER GOD EVERYWHERE
Another exciting year of Vacation Bible School has come and gone, but not without fanfare. Camp E.D.G.E. was an exciting time for everyone. Adults as well as the children who came to our camp experienced for themselves how much fun it was to go on a trek thru the Bible.
Every night they came to base camp and met up with their Camp Counselor, Sparx the Fox and Extreme Jean. Who taught everyone about the five Greek symbols that make up an ichthys (ick-thoos), the fish symbol important in Christianity.
From there they took the Trek through the Bible. They went to the Promised Land with Joshua and the Israelite people, onto Bethlehem with the wise men and to the Pharisee’s House for dinner with Jesus. They made the Trek to the Upper Room with Jesus where he washed the feet of his followers, then onto Galilee where they met Mary at the mountaintop.
All these places gave US, adults as well as the children, an adventure where we came to know that our strength and might comes from God.
The Lord is my strength and my might. Psalm 118.14a
Our Mission offering went to Loaves and Fishes Pantry and we collected $54.75, plus at our closing we had a bin for non-perishable food donations.
We had 56 campers signed up for our adventure. As always Olivet has shown its BRIGHT colors, we had 63 volunteers to help at CAMP E.D.G.E. I hope you got a chance to see all the decorations in the rooms they were really great. Thank you to all that gave of their time selflessly.

**Special thank you to Dean Beckett for his impromptu dance during the closing. **
Thank you to all who prayerfully and/or financially supported VBS this year! Thank you also to Acme who gave us a generous donation so that we could provide the snacks and to Chick-fil-A who gave us enough coupons to give to the kids for free meals. We were truly Blessed this year.
If you have any comments or suggestions about this years or for next years, please either drop a note off to the office or email me (dbcsmom@yahoo.com) and let me know.
In Christ’s service,
