Saint Agnes Outreach would like to host our parish's Second Annual 4-day Vacation Bible School again this summer from June 29th - July 2nd, 6:00-8:00 pm. Thursday evening will conclude with an ice cream social for the parish, starting at 7:00 pm. If you are interested in volunteering, or enrolling, please let us know ASAP. Both teens and adults are needed to help. The age ranges offered for attendees will be based on the availability of volunteers, starting with 4-7 year olds, and moving upwards in age as warranted. Last year, the program was well-received and appreciated by both parents and volunteers alike. Based on interest and volunteer responses, a final decision will be made on May 20th. Please help contribute to this great project for our parish by emailing Marianne Hudelson (Marianne.Hudelson [at] gmail.com), or clicking the INTEREST FORM here. Thank you!
