Vacation Bible School on June 19-23, 2006

Adventure of the

Treasure Seekers

Exploring God's Promises 

Vacation Bible School 

June 19th-23rd 

      We invite all children ages 4 through 5th grade to be a part of the excitement at our Vacation Bible School, Adventure of the Treasure Seekers:  Exploring God's Promises. 

      With this archaeology-themed VBS, children will be transformed into young archaeologists or Treasure Seekers.  Each day, they will dig into the Word of God to discover one of God's most previous promises.  Through daily "Discovery Digs," children will find treasures that will remind them of these promises.  The Bible stories presented at Promise Point will illustrate the promise and encourage further exploration into the Bible.  Your children will extend their learning through every activity:  making their own special treasures in the Art-i-facts lab, enjoying tasty snacks at the Canteen Cabana, singing fun Treasure Seekers tunes at Rhythm Rock, learning how to share God's treasures with others at Mission Tel, and participating in recreational activities at Treasure Track. 

      Volunteers are needed.  Call Haley Williams at 563-9092, or Sara Helen Ware at 578-3983.
