Pictures from VBS

Herb Reefer, pastor of First Presbeterian Church in Ford City
This is me with red hair. You can't really see the red but it was there.
This is Curt Sirwell getting a mohawk. Yes, I do some barbering on the side.
Craig Peterson, pastor of the Allegheny Charge of United Methodist churches.
Alice Miller, volunteer.
Why do these people have mohawks and colored hair? To raise money for biosand filters. If the kids could raise over $500 dollars Curt and Pastor Craig Peterson were going to get mohawks. As the money increased, a few of us jumped on board to keep things rolling. At the end of the week the children had raised over $750. We averaged about 50 kids a day. Praise the Lord. We also had a great backpack giveaway where we were able to give away around 50 backpacks. What a week. I'm a little tired but thankful to God for all that He did this past week. And there's more.
Two women who helped out with VBS last week came to church this past Sunday and surrendered their lives to Jesus. The example people from the churches and the children set for them encouraged them to get back into church and Jesus. Praise the Lord! I can't thank the Lord enough for all that He did this past week. A relationship with Jesus is truly an exciting adventure.
