Zion Lutheran Church in Clinton, LA, celebrated 125 years on June 1-3, 2018. German immigrants were farming in Southeastern Louisiana. One of their children became ill, and they requested a pastor to baptize the sick child. The New Orleans Mission District sent A.W. Heyne to perform the service.
Making a Splash at St. Mark’s VBS
St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Elberta, AL, hosted its Vacation Bible School during the first week of June. The theme was Splash Canyon. Children learned that life is full of thrills and spills; we may not know what’s around the bend, but God does and He is always by their side.
Who’s the Biggest Egg Head?
Vacation Bible School at Grace Lutheran Church in Pensacola, FL, was a tremendous success. We had 88 children attend the program. We tried to have a fun promotion during VBS, so the kids would support someone and cheer for them to win. Ideally, they would get to know members of our congregation a bit better through a fun outreach.
