Thank you so much for the time you gave during VBS last year.  We have recently returned from the our secret mission at the Agendy 3D headquarters in Ridgecrest and look forward to you being part of the Agency 3D team.  This is going to be an exciting mission as we help our students Discover who Jesus Is, Decide to Follow Him, and Defend why we believe in Him.     Since you have been a lead teacher in the past, you know how important it is to the preschoolers and children when they have teachers who care about them, love them, and care about their hearts.  We look forward to having you on board during this exciting week.  In preparation for this week, we will have having a Leaders meeting on Sunday, February 16, 2014.  We look forward to seeing you this week.

It was a great ride!!!!

It was a great ride on the colossal coaster world.  We had almost 500 Children come, and learn how to:
Admit, Believe, and Confess.
They learned songs and about Paul as he faced his fears.
They also learned how to face their fears.  It was a wonderful ride, and we thank all of the wonderful volunteers who made this VBS possible.

We look forward to next year, as we Discover, Decide and Defend with Agency D3.

The dates for the 2014 VBS are June 23-27, 2014 at Lawndale Baptist Church, Greensboro, NC
