Pleasant Hill VBS Held
About 75 children attended
the Pleasant Hill VBS June
14-24 directed by Nancy Muth.
Two-thirds were from non-Ad-
ventist homes in the surround-
ing neighborhood.
Notwithstanding the very hot
weather, the many capable
helpers created a happy and
profitable time for the children
making crafts, learning Bible
stories and singing.
Many of the children partic-
ipated in the commencement
program June 24, each child
receiving a certificate of com-
pletion. Pastor Arthur Escobar
spoke on “Building for the
Lord.” After the program re-
freshments were served on the
church patio where crafts were
displayed.
“We trust the many lessons
learned by the children will be
an Influence for good through-
out the entire community,” said
Mrs. Muth. “There is no better
way to reach the parents than
through their children.”
