Our VBS theme this year is “Illuminaion Station.” Culture claims to know about Jesus, but many people are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history or a good man or a good teacher—but He is more than that! This summer, VBS will shine a light on the truth of who Jesus really is. Kids will explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals while discovering that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world! Like the disciples, kids will be challenged to answer Jesus’ question, “Who do you say that I am?” They will discover it’s not a matter of opinion. Jesus is who Scripture says He is—the perfect, proven, and powerful Son of God. Light up your summer at Illumination Station and shine a light on Jesus!! Important Dates: • VBS Set up, June 4th-6th, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. • VBS Training, June 5th, 7:00 p.m. • VBS Set up, June 4th-6th, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. • VBS, June 8th-12th, 9:00 a.m. until Noon • VBS Celebration Sunday, June 14th, 11:00 a.m.
