Vacation Bible School

5 Exhilarating Days - Hordes of Children – Loving Volunteers

Each day will provide fun, memorable Bible-learning activities where kids sing catchy songs, play team-building games, nibble treats, experience Bible stories in fun and interactive ways, and create crafts that help them remember the lesson. Plus children have an opportunity to live out their faith by supporting a mission project. VBS is for children who are at least 3 years old & potty-trained through those who are entering the 5th grade (older children may volunteer). Children need not be a member of FUMC or any other church for that matter – all are welcome!

Special Events
The Special Events Planning Team provides fellowship opportunities for children and their families; and provides programs and events which reach out to new families in our community. They provide seasonal events such as a yearly Advent Party, fellowship programs that encourage intergenerational activities, and family support ministries such as Couples Nights Out.

Sing & Praise
The Sing & Praise team provides both an inspirational and enthusiastic setting where children can sing and praise God on Sunday morning from 10:00 – 10:30 in the Fellowship Hall. This 30-minute program enriches children through contemporary Christian songs and traditional hymns.

Additional information may be found in the Circuit Rider and bulletin announcements

Volunteer Application form and return it to the Director of Christian Education at the church. Adults will also need to fill out a Background Check Form

Vacation Bible School
