Wednesday afternoon's heavy rain and brutal winds weren't very nice to certain Bluffton trees. One of the Bluffton Presbyterian Church lawn stately pines was downed.

Drive-thrus aren’t just for fast food.
The pandemic-adapted Bluffton Community Vacation Bible School will lead children on a discovery of Who Is My Neighbor? Learning to Love Like Jesus over five weeks this summer.
Children will complete each session in their own homes.
Spreading out VBS over the course of five weeks instead of five consecutive days is intended to give children and families something to look forward to throughout our pandemic summer days.
