For a deeper understanding:

The purpose of our Vacation Bible School is to present the two great teachings of the Bible: the Law and the Gospel. The Law shows us we are sinners who need a Savior. The Gospel shows us our Savior, Jesus, and what He has done to save us. The Gospel creates and strengthens faith in Jesus through which we possess forgiveness of our sins and eternal life.”

The Sunday Morning Service:
We would like to invite the entire family to join us in a very memorable service as we’ll have the VBS kids sing several songs they learned during the week throughout the Service. The Service starts at 9:00 am and lasts for about 45 minutes. Parents will be able to view their child’s projects that are posted after the service as well as chat with the teachers and the Pastor.

The picnic will start after the service, and everyone is absolutely welcome!

The picnic is largely a time of community gathering for our members and visitors, to get to know each other better and to reflect on the past week’s VBS. There will be plenty of grilled hot dogs, hamburgers and other refreshments, plus an abundance of space for fun and recreation, even a bounce house for the kids to play!
