Daily Vacation Bible School was held at the Bbotown United Methodist Church the week of June 26 through 30.
An average attendance daily totaled 58 with 38 being children.
The evenings began with the pledges of the United States Flag, the Christian Flag and the Bible followed with joyful singing.

Also thanked were the new minister Pastor Gale Cobb, his wife Cathy and children who all helped with the inspiring event.
Get Together Fireworks
After a week of experiencing a grueling tragedy the little town of Bobtown came together again on Saturday evening for a more relaxed and enjoyable get-together as the Rod and Gun Club presented a great display of fireworks on the club grounds to the public.
Over 40 vehicles were parked on the premises with on-lookers being of all ages and enjoying the beautiful lights in the air.
The afternoon began with a chicken roast for the members of the club followed with the fireworks and a karaoke that lasted until late evening.
Even though the town and area residents are still coping and grieving from the tragedy a burst of laughter could be heard now and then from the crowd.
Once again it has proven that the small town on the hill comes together in joy and in sadness.
Thanks to the Rod and Gun Club and its members for helping to see some light at the end of the tunnel at this time.
Also needing thanks are the Bobtown Volunteer Fire Department and all the members of the entire army of volunteers who helped in anyway during this tragic time.
God Bless you all and especially the Bechen Family.
