VBS 2021 Treasured: Discovering God!
What a great VBS week this has been! At Treasured VBS we’ve enjoyed an amazing week exploring and discovering that God’s greatest treasure isn’t diamonds, gems, or gold – it’s us!
Join us for worship this Sunday to enjoy pictures from this year’s VBS!
Special thanks to all the volunteers who worked behind the scenes, participated in the video, and assisted with Wednesday’s in-person event! You are treasures!
The VBS videos will be available for viewing from Faith United’s website, YouTube, and Facebook page for at least 30 days. Feel free to share them with friends and family! Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5
We have a limited supply of VBS Music CD’s available for a donation of $5 each at the Book Resource Table in the Gathering Area of the church.

VBS Mission Project
During VBS we learned about Christian Children’s Home of Ohio (CCHO) and Faith Kitchen. Christian Children’s Home of Ohio provides specialized counseling, therapy, and support to children from ages 6 – 18 who have been the victim of abuse, neglect, or trauma.
Monetary donations will be used to purchase physical, sensory equipment for students at CCHO. We will collect boxes or bags of cereal, peanut butter and canned meats for Faith Kitchen. Monetary donations can be mailed to the church. Online giving is also available. Donation boxes located at both the Ninth Street circle drive and inside the Gathering Area of the church for you to drop off donations for our VBS missions.

Faith & Environment Weekly Topic:
God makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth:
wine that gladdens human hearts, oil to make their faces shine, and bread that sustains their hearts.
The trees of the Lord are well watered, the cedars of Lebanon that God planted. There the birds make their nests; the stork has its home in the junipers. The high mountains belong to the wild goats; the crags are a refuge for the hyrax. God made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down.
(Psalm 104:14-19 NIV)
