Local churches host Vacation Bible Schools for youth
Two Shafter churches held week long VBS sessions last week. First Southern Baptist Church ran Heroes Headquarters with heroes from Bible stories, and Home Fellowship hosted a High Seas Expedition focusing on the Book of Acts. Students sang, crafted, played games, and learned life lessons, while families attended a finale with photos, video, and a grilled dinner.
