This summer we look forward to starting our VBS adventures! This year, we’re taking the spirit of camp – the camaraderie, the daily activities, the immersive nature – and applying it to our theme. Live It Out VBS combines the fun and adventure of camp life with meaningful Bible stories, fun worship songs, and engaging small group activities that teach kids how to love like Jesus. VBS is for kids preschool through fifth grade! VBS will be held Monday, June 16 through Thursday, June 19 from 6:00-8:00 pm at St. Andrew UMC! We will start the night by providing a free meal to all families who attend at 5:15 pm. VBS is a great chance to have an engaging, fun-filled week. We hope you all join in on the adventure to Live It Out and discover how to love like Jesus!

What to Expect

When you arrive, you and your family are invited to dinner starting at 5:15 pm. After eating dinner make sure to check your children in the Commons (lobby) each day and drop off at the Great Room at 5:50 pm. We will be starting right at 6:00 pm, so please have all kids checked in by then. Kids will be welcomed and assigned to their group for the week, where they will get to engage in lots of fun! We will sing some high energy music, experience Bible stories, engage in various crafts and games and even serve towards a mission project (more info coming soon!). We hope that being part of our VBS will create a space for a fun, memorable week with your kids as they learn these foundational Truths to begin understanding the base of who God is. This year we are encouraging families to download the music from iTunes, Youtube Music, or Spotify playlists. Families and volunteers may register using the buttons below on or after Sunday, April 6th!

VBS is free to everyone! If you are part of St. Andrew and would like to, you are welcome to make a donation.
