Seven area churches are preparing for a community-wide vacation Bible school program to be held Sunday, July 19, through Thursday, July 23, at Bluffton Presbyterian Church.
Children age 4 through 5th grade are welcome to attend without any fee. The VBS program will meet each night from 6-8 p.m.
REGISTRATION FORM AT BOTTOM OF STORY.
Early registration is recommended by Sunday, July 12; registration will be available on the first night of VBS. Forms are available at each church and on Facebook.

• First Mennonite
• First United Methodist

This year’s curriculum will feature Bible Blast from the Past by Standard Publishing. Each day begins at Blast to the Past Bash where kids will sing, shout, praise, pray, and be introduced to a Bible story and the daily theme.
Other sites include: Timeless Truth Tent where kids will explore the Bible story in a variety of interactive ways; Backtrack Bazaar where kids have time to move around, have fun, and fill up on snacks; Discovery Ruins where kids discover ancient arts and facts through science and crafts; and Mission Quest Cave where kids are encouraged to serve others.
All these fun activities connect to the Bible story, Bible memory, and the timeless truth of God’s everlasting love!
