A Stellar VBS Because YOU Shine Jesus' Light!

Thank you to the congregation and ministries of All Saints' Church for coming together to 'Shine Jesus' Light' for our church and community families! So many of you contributed time and talents to make a STELLAR VBS. With 90 total registered children, All Saints' truly became the light on the hill of Dale City.....with the light of Jesus leading us through all circumstances life can bring. Of the 90 registered, All Saints' was able to minister to families and children from our area neighborhoods:

• 36 children/grandchildren that parents/grandparents consider ASC their church home

• 20 children that attend our ministries (but not on Sundays)

• 34 children from the community (friends of ASC, or the community)

All generations served from pre-teen to retired, and 15 of our Youth & College Students led the VBS in key leadership roles!  May we continue to shine brightly for Jesus, praying for and reaching out to all those around us throughout the year. Shine Jesus' Light!
