Dover just
finished a fantastic Vacation Bible School. We ended up with
a total of 26 pupils, every class had pupils, with the 3rd
and 4th grades having the highest attendance, followed by
5th and 6th grades. I was especially pleased with who came
as pupils, many were prospects who do not currently attend
church. Everything ran smoothly and the kids had a wonderful
time of growing in The Lord. The Lord blessed us with an
abundance of workers, 32 workers helped out and lead our
VBS. Our youth did an outstanding job of leading and
reaching out to our children. Considering when I came as
pastor we had no youth coming to church, this is a major
blessing.
Our mission offering reached $92, which will be sent to
Wayne and Barbara Myers in Swaziland. Barbara grew up in
Dover Baptist Church and her mom still attends when health
permits. Wayne was serving as Youth Director at Dover when
he felt the call to foreign missions.
The church was decorated to match our theme with the main
emphasis being, Jesus and his touch in our lives. Sister
churches shared their decorations and today, we were able to
pass them all on to another church, so they are continued to
being used to glorify Christ.
Sunday will be Parents Day. We had new pupils every night. A
new addition was a VBS Prayer Wall which is still up,
students and teachers each night turned in prayer requests.
We will now follow up with every student that attended, with
their families.

Doyle, Kelli Carper, Linda Swift and Charlotte White took
