Vacation Bible School at Southminster Presbyterian Church
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Sunday June 19 – Thursday June 23 5:30- 6:00 Dinner in Fellowship Hall 6:00 – 8:00 Bible School
Join us at the Shake it Up Café: Where Kids and Adults Carry Out God’s Recipe in an interactive, energizing, Bible-based program that gives us a recipe for living out God’s Word. This year VBS will be set in a restaurant and kitchen environment, and we will celebrate biblical festivals from both the Old Testament and the New Testament. These exciting and engaging celebrations will inspire our chefs to develop life-changing habits as they grow and become followers of God.
The progression through the Bible will help us connect story to story and the Old Testament to New Testament. Furthermore, we will discover how the events of thousands of years ago matter to our lives today. At Shake It Up Café, we will learn five “secret ingredients” that help us understand key steps we can take to live as followers of God. Of course, these ingredients are not really a secret; we are encouraged to incorporate them into our lives and share them with other people. The secret ingredients are:
Be ready for God
Give happily to God
Believe fully in Jesus
Remember Jesus often
Celebrate God forever
Vacation Bible School has a strong tradition at Southminster. We are encouraging one and all to participate as either a volunteer or an attendee, OR both, and to “bring a friend.” Watch for supply needs in Sunday bulletins.
Ages: 3 years through 8th grade
Youth helpers: 9th through 12th grades
Adults: Adult classes will be available – check the Sunday bulletins for more information
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL for ALL AGES – June 19th through June 23rd
Mark your calendars for Vacation Bible School June 19th through 23rd at the Shake it Up Café where we will explore the recipes for living out God’s Word. Again this year we will share dinner beginning at 5:30, and then move on to activities for everyone, children and adults. Each session will begin with Chef Basil assisted by Scraps the Chef’s helpful raccoon who also knows its way around the kitchen. Each night we will learn one of five “secret ingredients” that help us understand the key steps we can take to live life as followers of God. Planning is well underway, but we need lots of volunteers. Please call Deb or Morgan Ellenberg (745-3318), co-directors, if you want to volunteer to be part of the fun. Registration will begin May 15th.
Information about VBS at Southminster
Each summer Southminster holds a five-evening Family Vacation Bible School from Sunday through Thursday of one week in either June or August.
The evening begins with a light supper served from 5:30 to 6:00 P.M. At 6:00 children 3 years and older go to programs, activities, and choirs. A nursery is provided for younger children. Youth assist with the children's classes and activities. Adults may choose from several "classes" each evening. At 7:30 P.M. we all assemble in the Fellowship Hall for a joint activity with closing at 8:00.
We invite the community to join us for this very special time of learning more about God's love and grace and to better share that love.
