City-Wide Garage Sale this Weekend

The Kensington Commercial/Community Club has made up the maps and garage sales will be going on this Saturday, June 10, in Kensington. Even if you didn’t get on the map it’s a great opportunity to set out your sale stuff!

Vacation Bible School

This year’s VBS theme was “Keepers of the Kingdom”. There were around 55 kids who attended this year. The kids learned about putting on the armor of God to protect themselves from the attacks from the devil.

Annie and Eddy Adams gave a fighting demonstration at all three churches so the kids could see the importance of physical armor to help better understand the importance of spiritual armor.

Although there weren’t any representatives from the class of 1953 at the class reunion this year, there are still three of the ten members of this class that wish they could’ve attended.
