“Grace Tales: Exploring God's Love Through Parables” July 13 and August 10 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM Ages 3 through rising 6th grade
In the parables, Jesus shows us how God always forgives us, cares for us and is fair. This summer we will explore these tales of God's grace during our Vacation Bible Saturdays on three days: June 15, July 13, and August 10.
Each Saturday will be a complete program for that day's story. You can attend 1, 2, or 3 Saturdays depending on your family's travel schedule. We'll have story, snack, crafts, music, and games for our Bible-learning fun!
It's not too late to register your child(ren) to participate in this year's Vacation Bible Saturday. Our next session is coming up on Saturday, July 13. We'll continue to learn about God's grace in the parables. Each Saturday will be a complete program for that day's story. You can attend one or both remaining Saturdays depending on your family's travel schedule.
Video Bible School 2022: “Be Like Daniel” was for children ages 2 through 6th grade. We met on two Saturday mornings, June 11 and 18,in-person from 10:00 AM to about 12:00 PM. We learned about Daniel in the Old Testament. Daniel was a strong man of faith who always followed God. Due to the continued problem of new cases of COVID-19 in our area, no food or drink was served, so children were encouraged to bring a water bottle with water—and masks were required.
Video Bible School 2021: Jesus Loves Me Once again our VBS met on Zoom; this year, we met on the four Saturdays in June, 2021, at 10:00 AM. We had an outdoor, in-person kick-off event early in June that included the distribution of VBS supplies. Our theme was “Jesus Loves Me.” We read and explored four Bible stories (one from each of the four Gospels) that showed us how Jesus loves everyone, including us. Each week also included videos and crafts.
Video Bible School 2020! This year’s VBS was different, but still a lot of fun and a lot of learning happening in our two three-day sessions. We began each day with a music and dance video for the song, “The B-I-B-L-E,” we split into two groups: story, discussion, and craft for the younger children, while the older group learned all about the Bible and how to use it through videos, games, activities, and crafts. One group played a lot of Pictionary!
ROAR! Life is Wild * God is good 2020 VBS 2019 had us heading to an African savannah to explore how God is good, even when life is tough. We explored this through five different Bible stories. Thanks to all our faithful volunteers who kept us on our way in our explorations!
"Splash Canyon" 2018 VBS 2018 was an inspiring and successful "splash" for all! We spent the week with Old Testament characters Moses, Joshua, and Namaan and with New Testament figures Paul and Jesus. Through their stories, we learned how God keeps his promises to be with us always.
"Mighty Fortress" 2017 VBS 2017 was a success and good fun for all! We learned that in Jesus, the Victory is won! They say many hands make light work. We had many hands involved in preparing for and being present for our Vacation Bible School--thanks to the congregation and to those individuals who worked on the front lines of our "Mighty Fortress" to make it all work.
"The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A Veggie Tales VBS" 2016 VBS 2016 was a success and a good time was had by all! Our "crew members" set sail with The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything and enjoyed the high seas of adventure through breathtaking Bible stories and sweet treats that reinforced Bible truth, lively worship, action-packed games, amazing science experiments, and high-quality, kid-created mementos that lasted long after our last young mate disembarked.
"Entering Narnia" was the theme for VBS in 2015, based on one of the books from CS Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia." In this book, CS Lewis's main characters are children who go on an adventure in Narnia and learn about Aslan, the great lion, who we learn is Jesus in our world. We are excited to share this fun adventure through the story telling of Professor Kirk, the caring guardian; the Beavers, who guide the children along the journey; and others. Those who joined us on the adventure into the wardrobe learned many Biblical stories through a new and exciting way.
