Vacation Bible School by Cedarkirk
Three fun-loving counselors from Cedarkirk, Miss Ilma, and yummy snacks and lunches from our own HPPC volunteers made Vacation Bible School a super fun week for kids. In addition to fun, they learned about Fruits of the Spirit. What a blessing our HPPC Family Legacy Playground has been! Just imagine that shaving cream event inside!)
