Pre-school through grade 6 students attending St. Mark Lutheran’s Vacation Bible School took a trip to Galilee this week. The VBS concludes on June 6.
The title of the VBS is “Gangway to Galilee: Amazing Grace Adventures." During the week students took part in arts and crafts, storytelling, recreation, music and had some great snacks.
Student projects included a canned goods collection for the Ada Food Pantry and loose change collection to benefit the ELCA Disaster Relief Fund.
Welcome to Ada’s A-B-C Summer Contest. Here's our second contest photo.
Each week in June and ending in the first week of July, The Icon will post two photos revealing one letter (or number) taken from Main Street Ada buildings and structures. All photos were taken in May by the Icon’s official contest photographer, Bailey Bowers. The photos cover Main from College Avenue on the south to Highland Avenue on the north.
We invite Icon viewers to keep track of the letters by identifying each letter’s location. An entry form is attached to this story for viewers to keep up to date in the contest.
