Stories From The Field

Wetmore, KS

Our VBS is scheduled for June 1-5. We can’t be here for the last 2 days, as my niece is getting married in SD and we’re both involved in the wedding (I will help officiate and Carla is helping with music).  Our church people said, “Hey, that is great, we can do just fine and everything will work out just great – just please help us plan and we’ll work at it when we can.” They’re more than willing to go ahead with the same dates we planned. WHAT a church!!!! Great workers and helpers – WHAT a great attitude!!

Praise God.
