What do we do at VBS . . .
Each day of VBS is loaded with activities and fun!
Every day the children will visit specific rooms:
Music in the Manor is where we start and end each day with singing and praising God. The kids will be introduced to the day's theme every morning here before they split into grades to enjoy the rest of the day's activities.
Treats in the Castle is where the kids make their own snack and eat it too!
Crafts in the Courtyard is where the children create a craft that connects with our theme and story of the day.
Truth Talks in the Keep is where the kids will study the portion of scripture and corresponding theme. Ultimately they will learn each day how God's Word is TRUTH
Griffin's Games on the Green is where the kids get to go outside for some fresh air and burn off energy playing games.
Castle Closing is where everyone all joins together to sing some more and review what the children learned on that day and connect it to their lives.
We also will be accepting food donations for the local Food Bank!
