Planning for VBS begins early in the new year.  Many volunteers are needed to take part in the weekday mornings, interacting with the children and sharing with then.  We often find we learn as much from the children as they do from us!

Vacation Bible School has been a great tool for outreach in our community.  The children are encouraged to bring friends and neighbors as we share the message of Jesus’ love and caring for all.
