Camp Firelight Vacation Bible School!

Monday, July 8, 2024 through Friday, July 12, 2024
9:00am - 12:30pm

Location: Fellowship Hall, Craft Room, Club Room, Playroom (Camp Firelight)

It’s time for another summertime VBS extravaganza! (And perhaps another surprise visit or two from special guests?) If you have a child or grandchild interested in attending Kid Camp registration forms are still available in the upper narthex and in the church office. Please fill out the forms and leave them in the blue folder on the narthex table or return to the office.

Surrounded by water, trees, and rolling hills, “Camp Firelight” is the perfect location for every Camper’s favorite summer activities! During each assembly session, Campers join first-time camp Counselor Sam and Lou (short for Lumen), the lightning bug puppet, and learn to face their fears while trusting in God. Each day, Campers see Counselor Sam face new challenges—from simple (like leading Campers on a hike), to intimidating (like meeting a new and wise nature expert). With the help of Lu the Lightning Bug and the Camp Counselor Guidebook, Counselor Sam and our Campers explore timeless Bible stories that show how Old and New Testament Campers trusted God in the face of their own fears and went on to do great things in God’s name.

Camp Firelight is based on Psalm 56:3: “Whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in you.”  Through stories, we learn about the people in the Bible who experience the gift of a trusting relationship with God. These stories teach us to trust God to go with us, to lead the way, to share wisdom, to give us peace, and to spark joy as we celebrate the good news of Jesus in our own lives and in the lives of others. We will also learn ways we can connect with and put our trust in God, whenever we are afraid, challenged, or called to do God’s work in the world and share the good news of God’s love.
