Summer is a time for kids to get away from school and relax before having to return to learning their core curriculum.
A time of freedom can often be met with boredom, but local churches have the solution as many are hosting Vacation Bible Schools (VBS) throughout the county for those in pre-k and upcoming 6th-graders through June and July.
The celebration for America 250 continues as First Baptist Church Crestview and Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church join forces to bring “In God We Trust: A Community Celebration of Faith and Freedom”.
“In God We Trust” is a musical celebration of the faith in God, commitment to freedom, and attitude of thankfulness that our nation was built upon.
On July 4, 1952, President Harry S. Truman proclaimed that the day be known as the National Day of Prayer. That date later changed to the first Thursday of May under President Ronald Reagan.

As daily life grows more fast-paced and often overwhelming, a nationwide event that launched this week is encouraging Americans to slow down and engage with Scripture in a more intentional way.
The technology of drones grew to popularity back in 2013. A small piece of metal or plastic with four rotating blades and a camera that allowed people to capture stunning scenery that normally would be difficult to achieve.
