2026 Vacation Bible School Explores God’s Nature! (6/29/26)

Posted by on Apr 25, 2026 in EventAnnouncement, kids, Ministry: Community & Church, Vacation Bible School | 0 comments

The 2026 Vacation Bible School is upon us!  Last year, we discovered what our “True North” is and how we can set our compasses to trust Jesus in a “wild world.”  This year we’ll head for the Rainforest Falls and discover what it means to be rooted in relationship with God. 

The word “Nature” conjures up images of things like stars, sunsets, oceans, flowers and mountains.  God’s creation is totally awesome.  But, God Himself is awesome too!  This year’s VBS will guide us to be awed by everything that God is and to thank Him for everything that He lovingly provides.

 

All are invited to become part of this experience.  Here are the details:

How’s this Gonna Work???

Each evening will last about 2 hours and follow a 4-part format:

  1. Sing and Play Toon Lagoon (opening songs and introductions in the Sanctuary)
  2. Each “crew” will then rotate through a set of four stations:
    • Sticky Scripture
    • Wild Games
    • Imagination Station
    • Rooted Bible Adventures
  3. Along the way we’ll stop for some snacks at “Treetop Treats” (Fellowship Hall)
  4. Canopy Closing (all gather in the Sanctuary)

What will We Learn???

Each night we will “plunge into God’s Word” to explore on a different part of God’s Nature:

God is our Creator

We are not an accident!  God created our world and put us here for a purpose.

God knows Everything

We don’t live in a vacuum.  God surrounds us like a loving parent, ready to keep us from falling.  We can celebrate that God knows everything about us.

God is our Safe Place

Just like David who had to keep fleeing from danger, God protects us so that we can always be with Him.

God is Love

In the greatest expression of God’s Love, God sent his Son Jesus to be a human like us.  Jesus came to have the death that belongs to us so that He could give us the eternal life that belongs to Him.  

God is Forever

Life is eternal!  God has no beginning or end, and in His love He has invited us to share in that everlasting life.

 

 

 

Our God is an Awesome God!!!
