A Letter of Gratitude

Summer is rapidly coming to a close at Hillsdale United Methodist Church - and as we wrap up another successful Vacation Bible School event, we would like to thank those who made this summer particularly joyful. 

First, and foremost, we wish to thank the children who sang, played, and learned the daily bible lessons with so much joy; and who shared their excitement and stories with each other, with open hearts and open minds. 

Second, we thank the parents for encouraging their children to join in, for bringing them to VBS everyday, and for attending our daily wrap-up singalong.

Third, we thank all the volunteers who readily gave their time and talents to make "Kingdom Rock" a fulfilling experience for all. 

And we thank the local businesses that donated breakfasts and lunch for our crew. Their generous gifts sustained our energy throughout our busy mornings.  Please visit these businesses often, and thank them in person for all they do to support our communities:  Ronnie's Bagels of Hillsdale, David's Bagels of Washington Twp, Goldberg's Famous Bagels of Westwood, Dunkin' Donuts of Hillsdale, and Casa Maselli of Emerson.
