High Power Soccer Vacation Bible School at Valleyford Ju;y 19-22, 2011

If you have kids, grandkids, relatives, neighbors, friends in the Kindergarten--6th grade age range, it's not too late to invite/bring them to our High Power Soccer Vacation Bible School at Valleyford Community Church, corner of Palouse Hwy. and Madison, this evening thru Friday evening happening 6:30 pm--8:30 pm. It's FREE to participants but worth way more than that! (There's even a bring-them-inside rain back-up plan :-)

If the child likes to play and wants to learn a few soccer skills (even the most basic ones), this is the place to be. Snacks and drinks are provided (again FREE) for all kids and guardians who want to stay and observe. After the active play time, there is a humorous skit put on by our teens, fun songs, and a short but great Bible message by an adult.

Kids who memorize all the daily Bible verses by the end of the week go home with a new never-before-been-kicked soccer ball! Other prizes are given for bringing friends. Everyone receives at least a special wrist band & candy treats.

We also learn about the two children our church supports thru Compassion International, and kids can bring coins to add to the offering to feed, clothe, & educate them.

If you have questions, call the church at 926-2142. Don't let your special kids miss another day!
