First VBS

Corbin and Mary Ella
For four nights in July, Mary Ella experienced her very first Vacation Bible School. Not only was it her first, but it was also a first for the Madison Church of Christ. I am so proud of our little church! What started in November 2005 with a worship service of 60 people in a nasty old elementary school has grown into a strong church family with a full time preacher and youth minister, elders, deacons, children and adult Bible classes, fellowship activities, outreach programs, funded missions, and our very first VBS...all in service to God the Father and the spreading of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have even moved to a much nicer office space and are currently paying down the debt of our land on Reunion Parkway and working on plans for a beautiful new building. We had 50 children in attendance at VBS, which is great considering our membership is around 150. Sherry and I taught ME's 2 year old class, and she had a blast! She got to listen to Bible stories about Noah, Joseph, Moses, and Daniel, watch skits, make crafts, sing songs, and of course have snack and play time. I think her favorite part was the singing. She even got called up one night to sing and dance to Chicky Chicky. Boy, did she love having an audience! If you've ever been to a Church of Christ VBS you know what song I'm talking about. That's about as wild as is gets in the CoC!
