Monumental VBS

After a two-year hiatus, we were glad to open our doors again for a full 5-day VBS! Monumental VBS was a celebration of God’s love. Against a backdrop of the American Southwest, kids were introduced to Bible verses, Bible Points and unique Bible Buddies each day. Our stage was transformed with hand-made cactus decorations and our Bible room featured a story on the life of Joseph each day.

As part of the missions component, kids raised money to sponsor two kids for a whole year through the AMAA Orphan & Childcare program.

We are grateful to all of our volunteer staff, and to our first-time VBS director, Anna Stefanidi, for making Monumental truly memorable for kids and families.


 

Candlelight Concert

On the evening of May 21st, AEBC hosted our very first Candlelight Concert. The sanctuary stage and aisles were adorned with flickering battery-operated candles while the overhead lights projected a blue glow to mimic and outdoor evening feeling.

The evening featured solo vocal selections by Anna Stefanidi and violin performances by Anna Yeghiazaryan.

The reception was held in the social hall afterwards with many delectable desserts and finger foods for guests to enjoy. Proceeds from this concert went towards the VBS program.
