If you’ve been to Bible school the last few years, you’ve visited the “Big Apple,” toured Australia, spent time on Saddleridge Ranch, surfed in Hawaii and been a part of Game Day Central (where heroes were made). This year’s VBS experience promises to combine the best of everywhere with an around the world tour of God’s natural wonders in Amazing Wonders Aviation, encountering God’s awesome power! Commitment letters have gone out to last year’s teaching team and we want everyone to be a part of this exciting ministry. If you’ve never helped in Bible school, join a team of dedicated, talented and spirit-filled leaders for a week of fun and sharing God’s word.

When the weather is bad, especially when there is snow and/or ice, we know that there are some people who can’t get out and shouldn’t get out. However, we will always attempt to have Sunday worship services for those who can get out. We’ll contact the local television stations to get the word out. Also, we’ll post messages on the church website (www.bonsackbaptist.org) and we’ll also try to post a phone message at the church, 977-5701.
