Saturday, August 2
8:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Come join us for a one-day Vacation Bible School where kids will explore the amazing truth that God created everything there is—and yet He still wants to spend time with me!

This fun-filled day will include exciting games, creative crafts, tasty snacks, joyful worship, and a Bible lesson that brings this powerful message to life in a way kids can understand and remember.
Open to all children ages 4 through 5th grade, this is a perfect opportunity for kids to grow in faith and celebrate the greatness of God who knows them by name.
Come discover the God who made it all—and still wants to be with you!
