Grace UMC's Vacation Bible Camp (formerly Vacation Bible School) will be on July 15 to July 19, 2024 at 9:00AM to 11:00AM! This year's theme is Camp Firelight: a Summer Camp Adventure with God. We're excited to welcome you and your friends and neighbors!
During Vacation Bible Camp, campers accompany Counselor Sam and Lu, the lightning bug puppet, and learn to face their fears while trusting in God. Each day, campers see Counselor Sam face new challenges, from as simple as leading campers on a hike to as intimidating as meeting a new and wise nature expert. Campers explore timeless Bible stories showing how Old and New Testament Bible figures trusted God, faced their fears, and went on to do great things in God’s name.
ADULT LEADERS STILL NEEDED
Vacation Bible Camp is right around the corner on July 15 to July 19. We are still looking for a few more adult leaders for the classroom and recreation. It is a fun-filled week and everyone that is part of VBC gets their very own Camp Firelight shirt. Please contact Becky Blachford at vbs@peopleofgrace.org if you are interested in serving in this amazing way.
