Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School (VBS) brings children together for an entire week every summer to help them explore a central aspect of the Christian Faith. Throughout the week there are services, crafts, activities, songs, and games that reinforce the yearly theme, which is based on the teachings of our Lord.

The most recent VBS was conducted the evenings of August 5-8, 2019 for children who are age 4 through “rising sixth graders” (that is, those entering the sixth grade in the Fall). Each day began with dinner. Parents were also invited and encouraged to attend the Great Vespers, Litiya, and Blessing of Fruit for the Transfiguration with their children at the regular time of 7 p.m. on the Monday of VBS week (the Wednesday Daily Vespers was postponed).
