VBS

 

Join us June 18-22 for VBS with the Go Fish Guys.

VBS is going RETRO! In a world that is always searching for the “next big thing”, some things will never change and can never be improved upon. God, His Promises, His Word, and the Gospel are unchangeable which is why the Go Fish Guys invite you to go BACKSTAGE WITH THE BIBLE!

Using classic hymns from their new CD “Kickin’ It Old School”, your kids will love the new songs (launch audio player to hear the music), videos, skits, crafts, snacks, and karaoke times! The Go Fish Guys will also be a part of each day’s Bible lesson to help teach using animation and video.

Not only are the music and videos top notch, but the Bible lessons are not full of fluff. Your kids will travel through the Old Testament as well as the New Testament to learn about several attributes of God. From Adam and Eve to the Passover to the building of the tabernacle to Jesus on the cross, your kids will learn that God’s holiness and views of sin have never changed. Churched and unchurched kids alike will hear and understand the Gospel in a whole new way!

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. It’s time to kick it old school!

Kids who are entering 4-year-old preschool all the way through those who have completed 6th grade can register on the right side of this page for this exciting week.

VBS will be held at the FUMC gym from 8:30-11:30 a.m.

T-shirts will be available for  purchase at VBS.

Please call the office for more information and ask for Maggi Cowan.
