GOD’S HEROES don’t wear masks or capes and at HERO CENTRAL we learned that God relied on ordinary people to do heroic things. I would like to thank our VBC Heroes: my volunteers, their parents, anyone who helped make VBC a success by donating an item (or two), but mostly my campers. They are the SUPERHEROES of tomorrow. They learned that not because of who they are, but by their actions, their words, and even their thoughts, they are and can continue to be heroic. I hope to see you all next June when we return to SonRock, Kids Camp for another exciting VBC. Jessica Singer
