Vacation Bible School began on Monday, July 13 with 64 registered students, 17 Teen Helpers, and a dedicated group of volunteer teachers and classroom helpers. This year's theme, "Discovery Canyon: Exploring the Wonders of the World," helps the children learn of God's love for them through Jesus. The daily Bible lessons are taught with the backdrop of the canyon environment, helping us "go green" and become caretakers of God's creation.
Each day's schedule is full of arts and crafts projects, music, Bible stories, and recreation. At 11:10 the entire group meets in the sanctuary, where the older children put on a skit based on the Bible story of the day, and everyone participates in singing the VBS songs.
The children are contributing food items and monetary donations each day to the Community Food Pantry at Broad Street Community Center co-sponsored by Cross of Glory Lutheran Church and First Presbyterian.
During the Sunday worship service on July 19th, the VBS children will be singing some of the songs they are learning this week.
