VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2011

SUNDAY, JUNE 26 - Thursday, JUNE 30

6-8pm in the evenings

Welcome to ReNew: The Green VBS! ReNew is an environmentally focused VBS program that inspires kids and adults to grow in faith, have fun, and change the world as they practice stewardship of creation. This year we will be studying Jesus' parable of the Sower from Mark 4:1-9. It's important for us to listen to Jesus' stories because that's God's love, the Gospel, is planted within us. When God's love takes root in us and grows up within us we have more than enough love to face hard challenges and share with others, including God's creation. So get ready for a fun filled week of learning about God's creation 

 Classes

We will have classes for all kids, starting with preschoolers and going through 5th grade. Classes are determined by what grade you just finished.
