VBS: In the Garden
June 22-25, 6-8pm
Come dig into God’s Word with us this summer “In the Garden” at VBS! From June 22 to June 25, kids (ages 4 years through 5th grade) will explore how our story with God starts and ends in the garden—learning about creation, renewal, and the parables Jesus taught that involve planting, growing, and tending.
Each evening will be packed with music, crafts, games, snacks, and even a little playing in the dirt as we discover how God created everything good—and how He continues to make all things new.
This is a fantastic opportunity not only for our church family, but also for children in the community. So invite your neighbors, bring your friends, and get ready for a week of joy, learning, and growth!
