We need help in the craft area, preparing and serving snacks, the storytelling room, games, and being a guide to lead the children from one area to another. Please note on the registration form which day you can assist and in which activity you would prefer to help. This is a great opportunity to make new friends and make a difference in the lives of children.

Gethsemane is grateful to all who lead Vacation Bible School.
