June 1st-5th | 9am-12:15pm

Join us for this year's Vacation Bible School, Emerald Crossing: An Irish Adventure Through Psalm 23! During this week, preschool-5th grade children will learn about David, the shepherd and king while simultaneously learning about The Good Shepherd and the King of Kings. Each day features Bible lessons, memory verses, science experiments, crafts, snacks, and games that will help children discover important truths such as:
• I can be a child of God and have the Lord as my shepherd.
• I need the Lord to lead me on the right path through his Word.
• I can turn to the Lord for comfort when I’m feeling anxious or afraid.
• I can have an attitude of gratitude in every situation.
• I need to be on the lookout for God’s goodness and mercy, my traveling companions through life.
