We also serve meals at funerals, Lent, Advent and numerous other

work here and abroad. The Dorcas Women also
feature a differant missionary each month with prayer and communications.
Vacation Bible School
Gethsemane Lutheran Church uses Concordia Publishing Materials
for their VBS. Each year the theme is different but all teach
about
Jesus and His love. VBS is held for one week in June from 9:00
am to 11:30 am. During that time, the children age 3 through
fifth
grade
participate in a rotation curriculum. While in their age groups
they go from one site to the next, which are Music, Games, Class,
Snacks, and Crafts. The children spend twenty minutes at each site
learning about Jesus having a great time.
 aaa
Gethsemane's Vacation Bible School has been blessed
with over 100 children and grouping every year. This is possible
due to the wonderful volunteers.
We
had
50 volunteers ranging in age from 11 to senior citizens. Others
were involved by donating food for the snacks, money and their
time.
Please contact the church to particpate.
