We had 120 children attend from Grace Lutheran Church and the Camp RCLS program. VBS was held at RCLS. We had over 40 volunteers and had a great week with the theme ‘County Fair’. All the kids got blue ribbons for having fun and learning God’s word with music, skits, games, crafts, snacks, and bible stories.

Thank you to all who volunteered and who donated items or money towards the VBS program.

The kids had a goal to collect 400 items for Channel One (between food items and dollars) and they exceeded it with 410 items! This is really great as Channel One is such an important mission project. When the food was delivered to Channel One it was weighed and VBS donated a total of 240 pounds of food and $175.14. Thanks to all the kids who donated towards this important mission!!

Thanks everyone! It was a great Vacation Bible School!

Opening with Pastor Heidorn teaching the kids about the Fruit of the Spirit.

Crafts were a lot of fun. We did many projects including a wood bookshelf, potted flower, hand prints, animal magnets and more.

The decorations were great! We were at a “County Fair”, here are the cool cows that were part of the decorations.

Games were a lot of fun! We played most of them outside and included some water games as well as used memory verses in the games to help us remember the Fruit of the Spirit.

Bible Study was held with age groups and we learned how to take an apple and twist the stem and say the Fruit of the Spirit while we did it. Each day was a different bible story to help teach us about the fruits that we have from the Spirit.

Music was amazing! We learned new songs and also learned how to line dance. Cool!

We learned how to milk a cow and also make butter from cream!

The skits were great!

Closing program was held each day at the end and we sang the songs from VBS program and learned about the mission project “Channel One”.

The kids will be spending a little time in Rome with the apostle Paul during the week of June 22-26.  Our trip to Rome begins each morning at 9am in the gymnasium at RCLS.  Children ages 3 through entering 5th grade are invited on the trip.  We will interact with other groups traveling to Rome, including those attending Camp RCLS and any guests we bring.  This is a trip you don’t want to miss!  Invite your friends and neighbors, too, opportunities like these can’t be passed up!
Please stop by the VBS table in the narthex to register for this summer’s program. 
Still needed for the “trip” are adult & youth leaders and various supplies.

Brochures and registration forms are available at Church in the Narthex.
