Vacation Bible School (3yrs-6th Grade)

June 20th-24th, 6:00pm-8:30pm

Hey! We are going on one of my favorite adventures ever! What is it, you ask? We are going spelunking, that’s cave exploring, just in case you didn’t know.  Now, I don’t mind admitting, that I’m terrified of falling, and I know a lot of folks who are afraid of the dark. Both of these things can be experienced in a cave, but we are going to be learning how to deal with fears like those. We are also going to be learning how we can be a light in the darkness, and we are going to have fun doing it! So…do you like music? We’ve got that. Do you like games? We’ve got those. Do you like, science and creativity? We’ve totally got that! We are also going to have some really awesome food! We are also going to make new friends, and learn about the One Who Really Is The Light of the World. Come on! Let’s go exploring! Just click on the link below, and you can be a part of this Great Adventure!!!
