Last July the Poplar Bluff Seventh-day Adventist Church held its Thunder Island Vacation Bible School, providing a week of spiritual education and fun activities for local children.

The Thunder Island theme focused on how God speaks to us, emphasizing His love. The program included a variety of engaging activities for the young participants:

  • Bible stories
  • Bounce house
  • Waters
  • Crafts and games

Throughout the week, 12 young people attended on various nights, allowing for flexible participation to accommodate different family schedules.

Terrah Shepard served as the VBS director, organizing the event with the help of several dedicated church members. Their combined efforts ensured a successful program for all participants.

In addition to the children’s activities, Pastor Robert Stockford led a group of adults in the sanctuary each evening. This parallel program, titled “Victory in Jesus,” offered Bible-based messages for the grown-ups.
