This year, along with the VBS lessons, we chose to teach the children the act of "Giving Back to God" with His tithes and our offerings. We asked the children to bring in spare change and loose dollars. We explained nightly that the "Kicks Need Kids" collection would be our VBS mission theme this year, and at the end of the week, the total money collected would be used to purchase new school shoes for underprivileged children of Adair County. After Monday's announcement, the children came in each night excited to announce that they had brought their "shoe dollars", and we are excited to announce that our VBS "Kicks Need Kids" collection was used to purchase 39 pairs of shoes and 16 pairs of socks.
