Vacation Bible School (VBS)

JOIN US FOR A WEEK OF FUN LEARNING ALL ABOUT DIVING INTO FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD!  WITH SONGS, SKITS, GAMES AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES WE WILL HAVE AN AMAZING TIME LOOKING AT BIBLE STORIES THAT SHOW US HOW GOD IS OUR FRIEND!

• Day One - We see God as a real friend as told in 1 Kings 18-19 when God stayed with Elijah through life's ups and downs. 
• Day Two - God shows that He loves us as a true friend as we look at the story of God's comapssion on Nineveh. (Jonah 1-3)
• Day Three - God shows us how much we can trust Him as a friend in the story of Jesus calming the storm. (Mark 5:35-41)
• Day Four - Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, god shows us He is a friend forever! (John 18-20)
• Day Five - God is a friend to everyone! Do you know the story of how Lydia became a friend of Jesus?  (Acts 16:11-15)

MARK YOUR CALENDAR!            FAMILY NIGHT & PICNIC     THURSDAY, JUNE 6
Each year we showcase the fun that the kids are having with a Family Picnic Night!  This year, we will gather at 6:00 pm in the Main Worship Space to share with parents, grandparents and siblings all that we are learning at VBS!  Families are invited to join us for a picnic to start off the night sponsored by the Knights of Columbus and Catholic Daughters of America. Our parent presentation starts at 6:30.  

DRESS UP DAYS
We tend to get a little carzy and add fun theme dress up days to our time together.  This gets the kids hyped up and builds community.  Watch this space for our planned dress up days.

DONATIONS
We usually choose a local charity to gather donations and give to each year.  We have donated to Monsignor King Outreach Center, Loreto House and LovePacs.  If you know of a local charity that could use donations next summer, please reach out and let Andrea know.
 

WHO?
Participants are children ages 4 (by 9/1/2024) through CURRENT 5TH graders. 
Older children may volunteer using the link to the right.
