Our Vacation Bible School will be June 7-11.  Our theme this year is:

SNOWBALL MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE

Our MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE STARTING LINE begins at 5:30 pm and closes with vespers at 8:00 pm each evening.  Our SNOWBALL MOUNTAIN CHALLENEGE is to FIND YOUR STRENGHT IN GOD based on Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me”, reminding us that through Scripture we are taught to share my gifts, be courageous, give my all, pray, and hope. Children ages 2 thru 5th graders are invited to come along on the Mountain Challenge.    

We will begin our climb with a hot dog Supper, Sunday,

June 7th  at 5:00 p.m. in the fellowship hall.  You can pre-register your kids in the Narthex which began on Sunday, May 24th.  Be on the lookout for “Ollie”, the arctic seal” our Mountain Challenge mascot to lead the way!

W.W.W.  We will have “Wild Wacky Wednesday’s again this summer!   Beginning June 10th, we will gather each Wednesday for a fun filled excursion to area places for playtime, devotions and exploring God’s world!  All rising 1st graders thru rising 6th graders are invited to join in the action! If your child is a rising Kindergartener or under school age and wants to participate they are welcome to come along BUT a parent or adult must accompany them (this is mainly due to car seat restrains and the young age of the child).  We will meet at the church parking lot to embark on our adventures!  Please watch your mail box for a parent letter and more details. Below is our schedule for each Wednesday in June…
