Please join us for our Children's Choir warm-up rehearsal in the sanctuary at 10am on Mother's Day this Sunday, May 14th.

Vacation Bible School and Holy Troublemakers | |
In the depths of a colorful underground cave, is the beating heart of the hero community, the Hero Hotline Headquarters where everyone's gifts are valued and every hero has a role to play. As our kids (the Heroes!) experience these stories through music, drama and storytelling, games, arts and crafts, science, and even snacks, they'll learn that Heroes are called to Follow Jesus, Help Others, Work Together, Listen to God, and Show Grace! And, best of all, they'll be invited to answer this call at VBS, at church, at home, and every area of their lives. | |
