Final preparations are now being made for this year’s Vacation Bible School, which begins this Monday, June 11 at 9:00 a.m. Each day, Monday through Thursday, June 11-14, the children will gather from 9:00 a.m. until noon to witness God’s “Amazing Wonders Aviation”. They will begin their adventure each morning in the Worship Rally Hangar to pledge allegiance to the U.S. Flag, the Christian Flag and the Bible. They will say the motto and sing the school songs. Each of the classes, PreK, Grade 1&2, Grade 3&4, and Grade 5&6, will then go into their individual hangars for Bible study. After Bible study, the classes go into the Missions Hangar, then to the Crafts Hangar, then to the Music Hangar, and on to recreation and snacks – a full three hours of fun and excitement packed adventure. All children, PreK through Grade 6, are invited to join in the excitement next week. Candice Stryker is Director of VBS and she is joined by some 25 volunteer helpers. On Thursday night at 6:00 p.m., everyone is invited to the Big Graduation Program. The students will receive their diplomas and their parents, relatives and friends will witness their children’s program. Refreshments will be served. The church van will be running daily to pick up the children about 8:30 a.m.
This past Sunday night the Church held a special High School Graduation party for Rebekah Grant. Rebekah graduated from Calhoun High School on June 1, 2012 at Sandcrab Stadium.
A large group of Port O’Connor children in grade 3 through grade 6 will depart for a four day Summer Children’s Camp on Monday, June 18 at Palacios Baptist Encampment. They will return on Thursday, June 21.

The children and youth are selling T-shirts of various sizes and colors to earn money for camp. The T-shirts are $10 each and on the back of the shirt is the inscription of a flounder and the words “Don’t Flounder Around, Get Hooked on Jesus”. Your purchase will help send a child to camp. Thanks!

See you in church Sunday!
