Final preparations are being made for this year’s exciting Vacation Bible School. Candice Stryker is Director of the School this year. The title is “Big Apple Adventure”, where Faith and Life connect. All children through sixth grade are invited to participate in this fun and games and real life challenges as they walk in “Times Square” and the “Statue of Liberty”. The children will experience life with “Tuck” and his friends – both real imaginary who work in a pizza parlor in New York City. The “Big Apple Adventure” motto is: Hear It!! Believe It!! Connect It!! VBS begins on Monday, June 13 at 9:00 a.m. and continues on June 14, 15, and 16. Each day from 9:00 a.m. until noon the children will enjoy the Bible stories, learn new songs, hear mission stories, make things in crafts and have great snacks. The church van will be operating each day to pick up the children and take them home. Questions? Call the church at 983-2727. Don’t forget Vacation Bible School begins June 14th!

Sam Craig and his Eagle Wing’s Camp will arrive in Port O’Connor Friday evening, June 3. There will be about 15 boys, all 13 to 17 years old, many who have never been in or about the water. Most of the boys have been raised in “single parent” homes and are considered “at risk”. Sam Craig and his helpers work with the boys and before they go “home”, most will have experienced “life as a Christian”. The boys will go fishing on Saturday, followed by swimming in Clark’s home pool, with “hamburgers pool side”. Saturday evening the boys will enjoy a big fish fry. On Sunday, June 5, the Eagle Wings Boys Camp boys will be in charge of the morning service with Sam Craig. The group will be singing and giving testimonies. This is always a very emotional and spiritual service. Everyone is invited to attend. Sam Craig, who is an outstanding recording artist, will be singing. After the service, the boys will enjoy a big Sunday dinner and be off to their week’s camp on the Medina River.

Children’s Camp will be June 20 through 23. All children in the third through sixth grades are invited to go to this year’s Summer Camp at Palacios Baptist Encampment. The children will leave Port O’Connor on Monday morning, June 20 and return Thursday, June 23. If you have a child or grandchild who desires to go, please call the church at 983-2727 or see Brother Raymond Grant at church. Time is running out and the forms must be completed.

See you in church Sunday!
