Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Vacation Bible School
We are so excited to announce that we’re bringing a VBS program t
o you and your kids at home this summer! We’ll be using a VBS program called BOLT. BOLT is designed for parents, grandparents, or responsible teens to lead VBS right at home.

With minimal preparation, easy-to-follow instructions, and a video that leads you and your kids step-by-step through the 3 day program BOLT is so simple to put together and facilitate! During BOLT, games, crafts and the Bible lesson will illustrate what it means to listen to, focus on, and follow Jesus. Depending on your pace, you can expect that each day’s experience will last about an hour and a half. It’s great for kids 5 and up.
- What each day will look like: Each day there is a 25 minute video including a Bible lesson, Origami folding craft, games, and interactive questions. To view what a day looks like click here to view a detailed video.
- You will have Access to a web based portal with video content for kids, instructions, multiple game options, coloring sheets, and suggestions.
- You pick the dates and times that work for you! You don’t even have to do them all in July! You will have access to the portal throughout the summer.
- Partner with another parent or adult to share the leadership. Challenge your teen to help you!
- FREE! The only cost would be material for games, paper, and maybe an appropriate snack.
To sign-up for BOLT click here. Next, decide on the days you will do the program; perhaps even invite some friends from the neighborhood to join your family! We will send you the access to the materials on Tuesday, July 7th.
In the meantime, get your family excited about BOLT. This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!
