2011 VBS: "Pandamania!"
June 20-24, 2011 from 9am-12pm

During the third week of June children in grades K-5 are invited to join in the fun of VBS. The week long adventure gives children the experience of learning about the trinity of God our Father, Jesus our Savior, and Holy Spirit. The week has a theme which runs through all the activities. Children participate in singing and praising, Bible study, learning Bible stories from adventures in drama, they also play outdoor games and enjoy a snack that focuses on the concept being taught. Registration begins each March and the first 240 children are enrolled. Each year we have about 75 teen and 35 adult volunteers.
