I would like to say that because of what has happened with the yard signs and the wonderful support of northescambia.com and Marty and Linda, our enrollment far exceeded what we had been hoping for. I witnessed the glory and beauty of what came out of a very vindictive act and by Thursday night we had an unbelievable 275 enrolled! These are the times when people come together and rise above the negative to show their support with an outpouring of God’s love! AMEN and AMEN!

I know who has stolen these signs and have made the report to crime stoppers. all i have to say is it is eye wittness and this isnt the first time this person has tried to damper the works of the Lord during VBS and other events. please continue to pray for this individual and thier family. Lets just say they have continued to do this nonsense since atleast 2002. Its ridiculous and needs to stop but know she will never stop the work that the Lord wants done. i have nothing further to say other then God Bless.

I once again will comment. Nothing can stop our precious LORD. This church is awesome. I have to say that even though I am not a memeber of this church. I find this story empelling. I am so proud to say that My Daughter is part of the 225 enrolled. Yep 225!!!! Now that’s God, Now thats awesome. This church and it’s members are dedicated for these children. Ms Sara you are absolutely amazing!! The talent you have in directing this VBS, as well as working with these children. It’s wonderful to watch. I am so proud of Highland. God used something bad, and turned it into something wonderful. FOR OUR CHILDREN. Now I don’t care who you are, , you can steal signs and you can try to put a damper on things, But when God’s in it. It WILL HAPPEN. And God was definantly in this. Whey to Go Highland !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is God’s plan to let you know that nothing or no-one can stop “His” word!Thank you Highland for loving God so much to keep reaching out to our children through VBS. You have a wonderful gift for working with our children and letting them have so much fun. I recomend everyone let your children attend VBS.

It’s a pathetic cry for help. The sign stealer just wants attention. So rather than focusing on the evil. Let the light shine on the GREATNESS! VBS is a huge success regardless of that person/persons trying to ruin it. VBS is getting the point across without the signs (thanks to word of mouth & wonderful friends of the community advertising due to your wrong doings of stealing)… more than 225 kids are learning about GOD and learning the way to live with GOD in their lives.

The signs were all removed durinng the middle of the night. There were other signs close by the removed signs and they were not touched! Some of the signs were located on private property and they were also removed. I just want to say it was NOT us county employees!! My grandchildren attended the Highland VBS last night just becasue we read about what was going on and they loved it so much they want to go the rest of the week. The said there was over 250 enrolled. This is HUGE!!!

I have called and the only way to find out if it was the county ordinance code enforcement or road prison is to go to the code enforcement to look and see if they have them or to the perdido landfill to see if they have them. I wouldn’t doubt it if this may have been what happened because there is a law about putting signs on the county right of way, and they said they aren’t able to tell what signs they picked up, you have to go look to see if your signs are there.

Did anyone even think to ask if it was Escambia County Road Prison who picked up these signs? They have a crew who does nothing but pick up signs like these that are placed on county right of ways. They have thousands of these type signs at the Road Prison that they have picked up.

I’ve read the responses that you have received. What if this isn’t teenagers, but adults thats stealing the signs? I know that Satan is busy and is using this person to hurt Highland, BUT it seems to be having an adverse reaction. Tonight there was well over 200 present for VBS! Even more than last night. Isn’t GOD WONDERFUL!! Satan can’t win when one had God! no matter who he uses!
