VBS held

NORWAY — The Norway Baptist Church family enjoyed a week of Vacation Bible School with family fun for ages five to adults for the week of July 9 to 13. There were 84 registrants and the theme this year was the Wild, Wild West. Charlie and his puppeteers performed each night.

His program offered songs, a missionary story about Hudson Taylor and individual and team competition. A total of $200 was collected to assist two missionary families which the Norway Baptist Church has committed to help supporting.

There were opportunities to earn points throughout the week by memorizing scripture, bringing a guest visitor, bringing a Bible, looking up verses in the Bible and races and games. Charlie's focus is sharing God's word and love with the mission on saving souls in the name of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior.

Charlie Chandler travels around the United States and parts of Canada with a commitment to helping children realize their potential. Pastor Norman Jackson had the pleasure to hand out certificates of attendance, medallions and first and second place trophies to the children.

The winners included: Primary-Grade 1 — First place, Lucas Yates; second place, Dakota Morgan and third place, Madeline Huggins Grades 4-6 — First place, Kason Anderson; second place, Michele Wilson, third place, Caleb Flagg Teens — First place, Sherilyn Foster; second place, Nate Flanigan and third place, Noah Flanigan.
