Community Vacation Bible School 2020, with a theme of Concrete and Cranes, will begin Sunday, July 24 and continue through Wednesday, July 29 at First Baptist Church Albany.

The summer event is sponsored by the Albany Ministerial Alliance.

Sunday through Tuesday, VBS will begin with a 5:00 p.m. dinner in the church fellowship hall followed by VBS at 5:30 p.m. in the sanctuary.

“Family Night” will be the last night of VBS on Wednesday at the city pool, starting with a program at 6:30 p.m.
