“It’s gonna be a beach blast!” That’s right, this summer’s VBS theme is Beach Blast as we dig into God’s faithfulness to keep His promises. VBS is designed for kids from 3 years old through 6th grade, and it really is going to be a blast. From our group worship time to our lessons, snacks, games, and crafts, everything is focused on the faithfulness of our great God.

Bringing your kids to VBS is important for at least two reasons. First, God calls us through the Gospel to trust Him for salvation. But our kids grow up in a culture that makes trusting most people very difficult. They are surrounded on a daily basis by broken promises and lies. They live in a culture that has called God’s Word into question at just about every point. It is therefore critical for kids to learn that there is One Who is absolutely faithful and trustworthy. God has kept all of His promises in the person of His Son, Jesus Christ. VBS is designed this year to emphasize God’s trustworthiness to lead children to trust in Him for salvation.

Second, VBS is a great opportunity for kids to spend meaningful time with godly adults and with other children. It’s an opportunity for them to see biblical principles modeled by their teachers, by the leaders of the various stations, and by all the helpers. It’s also a great opportunity for them to meet other kids their age and build friendships. One of the most important aspects of the local church is community, and that is true not just for adults, but for kids as well. Coming to VBS allows children to begin to experience what the community of the church is all about as they connect with their teachers and with their peers.

You don’t have to register your kids to come to VBS, but we ask that you do because it helps us plan better. So if you’re planning on coming, please register as soon as possible! We’re looking forward to hitting the beach next week as we see how faithful God is!
