High Seas Expedition

Can you believe that summer is practically here? As we stepinto June, you will begin to notice that preparations are underwayfor our annual Vacation Bible School, June 21-25, from 9:00am -12:30pm. This is an exciting time of year when both our churchkids and neighborhood kids get a chance to interact with each other,and with the youth and adult volunteers from our church family.What an amazing opportunity we have, as church members, tospend time with these silly, energetic kids, and to share the love ofChrist with them.

Our VBS theme this year is the "High Seas Expedition." Youhave probably noticed our large nautical sails, and our large treasurechests located around the church building. And get ready, in thecoming weeks, you will begin to see more areas around our churchtransform into a place where kids love to come! During the week ofVBS, our kids will learn that God's Word is true, powerful, and life-changing. Each day, students will learn about God's love for themthrough music, storytelling, games, crafts, and yes, even snacks!The singing, laughter, and smiles will be so contagious, that weknow you will want to be a part of this exciting week. If you wouldlike to help make an impact on a child this summer, we would loveto have you partner with us during the week of Vacation BibleSchool. We will need lots of support from loving adults and youthhelpers to make this week both memorable, and life-changing forour kids this summer. Please check out our VBS displays locatedaround the church. We cannot wait to see you on the High SeasExpedition!!

Sincerely,Kelly JohnsonDirector of Children's Ministries
