Our annual Vacation Bible School is coming to Bethesda Lutheran Church June 24-27! This opportunity for the youth in our community to experience God’s love in their lives is being co-led by Pastor Jonathan Dolan, our Associate Pastor for Youth and Family Ministry, and Nancy Ewing, our Co-Director of Worship!

This year, we are proud to offer two sessions tailored to two separate age groups, all united around the theme of “Created to Be.” Our sessions provide a safe and inclusive space for youth to explore their authentic selves as God has created them to be. The VBS youth will learn about how God has created them to be free, authentic, brave, disruptive disciples of Christ. Even if they stumble in their journey, God’s love for them never wavers.

The morning Session, from 8 – 11, will be led by Nancy Ewing. This session was developed for potty-trained 3-year-olds to those who have just completed kindergarten. There will be crafts, games, songs, and snacks, and the youth will hear stories from the Bible. There will be lots of time for our youngest ones to interact with one another and make new friends they may not have met before! Our youth participating in the morning are expected to have already had breakfast.

The PM Session from 5:30 – 8, led by Pastor Jonathan Dolan, offers an opportunity for Youth to create new friendships. We look forward to seeing your children make new friends and have a great time at VBS!
Want to volunteer? A poster board has been placed in the Welcome Center for you to sign up. Each session will need at least three adult volunteers. Volunteers are also needed to help with crafts and games in the kitchen. There will also be a chance to donate food and supplies; a list will be available by early June.
