Vacation Bible School 2010! Aug 2-6
Thursday, June 10th
Kids go on a vast voyage through God’s Word as they participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, dig into yummy treats, experience electrifying Bible adventures, meet Bible Memory Buddies who remind them of God’s Word, and create Bible Point crafts they’ll take home and play with all summer long. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes at The Floating Finale—a celebration that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join in daily for this special time at 12:00 PM.

Discussion will touch on a variety of issues including prayer, baptism, mission and service, sin, salvation, and others.The class is a combination of lecture and discussion linking biblical texts with Brethren identity materials and is guided by participants' interests and pervious experience.
