VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2024

THE WILD WEST RODEO

Summer is just around the corner which means VBS will be here before we know it! Vacation Bible School is scheduled for June 10-14 from 9-11:30. We have now opened registration for all students who are interested in attending VBS grades prek thru 8th. You can register by clicking on the link below.
One important change to note is that our Prek class will be open to 4 year olds only this year. We appreciate your understanding and honesty with this change. In order to be part of our prek class children must also be fully potty trained. We do have nursery care available for our volunteers if their child is not 4 years old yet. Please let Sarah, Sarah or Molly know if this is needed. 
As always if you have any questions you can contact:
 Sarah Leader Hilman (sarahahilman@gmail.com)
Sarah Murdock (oakschildrenscoordinator@gmail.com)
or Molly Daily (molly_golly@hotmail.com).
We are looking forward to a great week in June! 

Sunday Mornings

Sunday School 10:00 am

Sunday School is divided by ages 4-Kindergarten, 1st-2nd, 3rd-5th grades. Our teachers help students unpack the lesson through discussion, crafts, and other age appropriate activities.

Activity Bags

Activity Bags can be found in the back of the Sanctuary, and are updated weekly. Children are encouraged to join the congregation for Worship, and in the activity bag you will find a worksheet for your child to fill out during the sermon, as well as quiet toys, crafts, and other entertaining items.

Nursery

Our Nursery is open to children ages 6 months to Kindergarten. Nursery care is staffed by volunteers for both services. We are always looking for help for this ministry, so if you feel called to help, please contact Sarah Murdock below!
