Sunday, November 22: 9a - 12p

VBS Weekend
At Rocky Railway, kids discover that Jesus' power can pull them through anything! Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, experience one-of-a-kind Bible adventures and collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God’s love. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. 
​
We begin on Friday evening and continue until Sunday, November 22 from until 12:00 p.m.  Drop off time will be from 5:45 - 6:00 p.m. and 8:45-9:00 a.m.  With all the activities each day, please make sure your child wears comfortable clothes and closed toe shoes. Each child will receive a VBS T-shirt while supplies last.  Music CDs will be available upon request for an additional donation of $7.00.

VBS Snacks/Lunch
With the growing concern of allergies and amount that is offered, we ask each parent to send a snack for your child daily in the amounts they need. The group crew leader will collect them at the opening session and keep them until snack time. Please send in a closed bag labeled with your child's name.

On Saturday, we will have lunch provided.  You are welcome to pack a lunch for your child in lieu of what is served. 

We will have a designated snack area if your child has a peanut allergy.
St. John's will provide water daily.




Registration is open!
