VBS is getting closer! https://www.playground.laredcreative.com/vbs-is-getting-closer/ https://www.playground.laredcreative.com/vbs-is-getting-closer/#respond Thu, 28 Jun 2018 13:45:44 +0000 http://www.playground.laredcreative.com/?p=6805 Vacation Bible School is almost here! Nightly from 5-8 p.m., VBS will take place Sunday, July 22nd through Thursday, July 26. We hope your kids will join us and that you will consider volunteering.

Supper (for all interested kids and volunteers) will be served each evening (Sunday through Thursday) at 5:00 with the VBS program beginning at 5:30. We will be done right at 8:00 each night, and we’ll finish off the week with a big VBS family celebration (10:40 a.m.), followed by lunch, games and activities on Sunday, July 29.

VBS is for children who recently completed pre-school through sixth grade, with nursery only being provided for the children of our volunteers.

We want to invite your kids to grab their megaphones, lace up their cleats, and tune up their instruments. As they fill up the offensive line, sideline, and drumline, your players, cheerleaders, and band members will realize God has given them His ultimate playbook. He wants them to join His team, train hard, celebrate salvation, and encourage one another. Let’s get in the spirit with Game On! VBS.

For more information, please contact us. Check out the below video to learn more about this year’s theme.
