Dale Godwin started the first Vacation Bible School (VBS) at Hodgesville Baptist Church, Dothan. “We had no tables and no supplies to do a VBS. We just worked with what we had and did the best we could,” she said. This year, VBS was held at the football stadiums at Rehobeth High School and Cottonwood High School to reach more people in the community.
