break on Friday, May 17, so
until then, the older students
will be studying hard for their
final exams and tests.
From Monday, May 20-
Thursday, May 23, at 6:00-
8:30pm there will beVacation
Bible School in the Lutheran
Church on Main Street for
kids that are going into Pre-
school, all the way to going
into sixth grade. Vacation
Bible School is a whole lot
of fun where the kids get to
sing, play with their friends,
learn about Jesus, have a
snack, listen to bible stories,
and make fun crafts! So if you
have any kids from preschool
to seventh grade, send them
to VBS for a fun and great
experience!

at Concordia on Saturday
May 4th. We'll try to write
the results next week. Also
