Vacation Bible School begins June 23

Jesus loves messy people! That’s good news for us, because we all have our own messes. What a Mess! VBS! is about how Jesus deals with our messes; our sins, mistakes, and weaknesses. All the while, we are going to have lots of messy fun, with messy snacks, games, crafts, and more! All Kindergarten through 5th graders are invited as students and we are seeking middle- and high-school aged kids as Assistant Counselors. The 2026 VBS will run from Tuesday June 23 – Thursday June 25, from 9am – noon daily. Please register by June 20th. VBS Registration link: https://forms.gle/YWeiqMKQteZvAnhu7
