Journey to the Holy Land!

Vacation Bible School

Monday, July 18 through Friday, July 22, 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

Download enrollment forms here (PDF ) and return to the church office ASAP.

Join us in the Ancient Biblical Holy Land recreated at St. James, where we will learn about God's love while playing games, making crafts and growing closer to each other. Highlights include:

• Crafts from the Holy Land including weaving, henna painting, ancient games, cunieform tablet writing, Phonecian Trading Post, and Make Yourself a Pharoah!
• Tribal robes decorated by YOU!
• Biblical figures come to life and join us via Dr. Phil Speary and his actors!
• Fabulous music provided by Jarl Morehead, Chorister Director!
• Making and baking delicious Kansas Baklava (cherry strudel!)

We will end the week with a Holy Land Carnival! Enjoy the Red Sea wading pool, the River Nile water slippery slide, the Pyramid Moonwalk, and camel rides!

We will be offering Nursery Care for the 2011 VBS. If you would like nursery care during VBS (8:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.), please fill out the section on the enrollment form with names and ages of siblings who require care.

Our St. James After School Program Staff will again be offering VBS-After-Care. This After-Care program runs from immediately after VBS until 5:00 each day. YOU MUST RESERVE YOUR SPOT. Come enjoy:

• Art Classes, taught by professional artists!
• Creative Writing Classes, taught by professional writing instructors!
• Organized Fun! Including crafts and games!

The Cost for After-Care is $10 per day, to defray the cost of the professional in residence that week. If you are participating in After-Care, please make sure you bring a sack lunch!

If you haven't signed up for the Fun, please do so quickly! We would love to have you along! Download the VBS form now, and then mail it to St. James Church, dropped off at the St. James office, or in the Drop Off envelope on the VBS bulletin board in the corridor to the Guildhall at St. James.

We are so very excited to re-connect with each and every one of you!
