🎼 Special Musical Collaboration
We’re especially excited to share that, in keeping with this year’s theme, we’ll be working with John Partridge, our traditional music director. Many of you will remember his beautiful work on the Easter Vigil service with the Youth Worship Team, and we’re grateful to have his musical leadership woven into VBS this year.
