Activities   

Each day, children become part of history as they see, hear, touch, and taste what it was like to live in Jesus' hometown! They'll begin with a high energy celebration in the Saint Paul's River room, then join their Hometown Huddle to discuss the day's Bible message. Next, tribes will explore authentic marketplace shops where they will craft cool projects. They will visit Jesus' mom, Mary, and laugh as they play team building games, and sample tasty tidbits as they discover more about Jesus' childhood. Along the way, kids will collect Bible Memory Makers to remind them of God's Word and learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with Celebration in the Saint Paul's River room with an upbeat worship that gets everyone involved. 

 

All rising 5th and 6th graders will put their faith into action with hands-on mission work throughout our community. At the end of each day, all the children meet back at the St. Paul sanctuary to wrap up with fun, fellowship and song before our 12:30 p.m. dismissal.


 

Adults and Youth (Grades 7th & up) are encouraged to participate in VBS as volunteers. Please register here.
