Week of August 21, 2015

Staff photos taken for the August 21, 2015, print edition of The Newtown Bee.

Grace Family Church welcomed 151 children to its Vacation Bible School last week. This year’s theme celebrated “how God created everything, and how what God teaches us can be partnered with what science tells us,” explained GFC Children & Youth Pastor Adam Fredericks. Presented August 10-14, the annual event offered lessons and games, and crafts for ages 4-12. VBS culminated on Friday with a picnic lunch, where families were invited to join together with VBS leaders for a final celebration of the lessons learned during the week. One VBS participant finishes a run on the water slide. (Hicks photo)
