VBS 2020: Hero Headquarters

04/15/2019 by Web Admin

It is with great sadness that we are officially canceling St James Church’s Vacation Bible School for the summer of 2020. The continued restrictions and uncertainty as a result of Covid 19 have resulted in our need to make a decision about whether or not we could offer the program this year. Vacation Bible School has a rich tradition in our community and it is with great hope and optimism that we look forward to renewing our efforts in the summer of 2021. We appreciate the interest and support shown by the parents and volunteers. We love working with your children and sharing the joys of this summer program and hope to have other great programs to offer as soon as it is safe to do so. 

With prayers for the health and safety of all, the VBS team of volunteers

SAVE THE DATE for VBS

Hero Headquarters Dates: June 22-26th

Time: 9am-11:30am Ages: 4-11 (pre-K through 5th grade)
Cost: $15 max $30 per family
Registration will begin in April. 
More information to come as well as registration. 
Interested volunteers please contact Rebecca Barger or Kim Symonds at vbs@stjameschurch.com

Attending St. James’ is NOT a requirement for kids to attend Vacation Bible School.

Each day at Hero HQ kids will participate in the large-group music, drama, and fun where kids will be introduced to some unnamed, yet amazing heroes from the Bible. After kids experience the other activities of the day, they will gather back at Hero HQ to review, be encouraged, and be challenged to join forces with God.

Other sites include: Amazing Bible Heroes where kids will experience the Bible story, then talk about ways to be heroes for God; Power Projects where kids will create service or craft projects; Super Snacks where kids make their own snacks, eat them, and then read or listen to stories of real-life kid heroes; and Action Games where kids will play and have fun together.

Each day, superhero Maintenance Mac will challenge Water Woman, Pizza Man, and the kids to join forces with God. The challenges will help kids do the unexpected, take action, step out on faith, save the day, and stand for truth.

Mac, Water Woman, Pizza Man, and Super Cooper are waiting! Do not miss this exciting, challenging, fun VBS program. Get kids ready to be heroes-in-training today.
