Led by BCM Director Alisha Moody, a group of five students presented residents of the Highlands with a condensed version of 'Submerged'. A musical production encompassing the word of God, Submerged encourages students and adults to form a relationship with Christ. "Every year, the BCM helps many of the smaller churches in town who aren't able to fund their own VBS. This year, we are going around to 10 different churches to perform this production," said Moody. "When the Highlands reached out to me about coming here to perform for the residents, I was more than happy to say 'yes'!"
