VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL PROGRAMS IN SUSSEX COUNTY 2007

For all you VBS loving moms this site is for you! I don't know about you, but every summer I find myself in a scramble trying to fit the VBS program I found out about the day before in the schedule only to say "I'll get it together next year." Well, hopefully with the help of this site I hope to, and hope you can also, actually PREPLAN for the area VBS programs!

So this is how it works: if you hear of a VBS program planned by your church or another church in the area, send me the info at LCCAG@warwick.net or comment (the blue link on the bottom of this blog) and I'll catch the comment and post it to the site. That way we can have all the dates, times in one spot....I sure hope this works!
