VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
 
          It’s hard to believe that Vacation Bible School
          is fast approaching.  Our Association VBS
          Director this year is Mrs. Brenda Davis of
          Southside Andalusia.  She has already begun
          securing workers and is really looking
          forward to a great year.  Our Lifeway theme
          this year is “Amazing Wonders Aviation” and
          we can now take your orders for the VBS kits.
          They are available with 3-5 days of ordering
          for your advance planning.  Please call the
          Association Office at 222-3009 to order all
          materials.  Ordering through the Association
          saves you all shipping charges and allows
          the Association to receive a commission to
          help defray expenses of all clinics conducted.
 
          Also, listed below are all VBS Directors which
          we have on file for 2012.  Please review, and
          should there be any church omissions, changes,
          or corrections, call Byram Lambert at the
Office (222-3009).
