We had a great Barn Bash today.  Over 700 people from all three VBC campuses took part in the festivities that included hay rides, great food, square dancing, football, bounce houses, a petting zoo, pumpkin painting, face painting, pie baking and eating contests and even a dunk tank where everyone got their shot at dunking the pastor of their choice...  The Barn Bash is designed to be a fun event that helps build relationships and provides an something easy to invite neighbors and friends to - something that many of you did.  A HUGE special thanks to...
