This past week at the Presley home we have been buisy hosting a Back Yard Bible Club! Instead of having Vacation Bible School, the church we attend (Grace Fellowship) has something called Back Yard Bible Clubs.

This year we (and almost 39 other families) decided to host a Back Yard Bible Club at our house, and (praise be to God!) it was a huge success!
