Vacation Bible School 2024
Campers will join first-time camp counselors Sam and Lu (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 as simple as
leading Campers on a hike to as intimidating as meeting a new and wise nature
expert. With the help of Lu the Lightning Bug, Counselor Sam, and our Campers
will 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.
Through these stories, this program will teach us about people in the Bible
who experienced the gift of a trusting relationship with God. In addition, it
will teach us to trust that God will go with us, lead the way, share wisdom, to
give us peace, and 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 through Jesus
Christ.
