Church



Cactus Canyon was the theme this year for vacation Bible school at Covington First Baptist Church.

There were 61 children enrolled and 45 helpers. YWCA Enid was chosen for the mission project this year.

Each night, children brought money and put it in the class jar. The class that brought the most won a prize at the program. Fifth- and sixth-graders were determined to be the winners.

Money collected was used to buy school supplies for the children living at YWCA.

Helping this year were Jeff Jackson, Pam Peacock, Sheryl Powell, Melissa Sherman, Pat Walter, Candice Rupp, David Reed, Diana Millsap, Ali Bolz, Matt Bolz, Charmin LeForce, Katie Houston, Carolyn Spence, Holly Hobson, Kathy Miller, Taylor Johnson, Nick Phillips, Jordan Jackson, Brianna Hall, Megan Hall, Vicky Ray, Jose Rojas, Cliffton Jones, Josh Dickson, Jeran Jones, Gage Smith, Ty Golay, Brett Stopp, Blake Morris, Hunter Jackson, Diana Mack, Kathy Golay, Megan Swank, Katie Shelton, Marietta Bolz, Tommie Houston, Stephanie Martin, Judy Monroe, Carolyn Peacock, Coltan Franke, Joelle Powell, Mallory Bolz, Bill Martin, Cara Jackson and Janice Kerr.
