VBS 2023 – Who is my neighbor

05/18/2023 by Web Admin

 

Who is my neighbor - Vacation Bible School 10am - 2pm July 15th 2023

One Day VBS on Saturday July 15th at 10am

For children aged 4-11, we’d love to welcome you to a day of singing, crafts and activities based on the story of the Good Samaritan. We’re thinking about how the kind things that we do ripple throughout the world that we’re a part of. The care that we show to our neighbors has a ripple effect throughout our community! Our day will begin at 10am (please come a few minutes early to check your child in) and will finish at 2pm.

There is no fee for the day, but we’d welcome the act of kindness of bringing a donation for the Lord’s Pantry. Dried and canned goods especially welcome!

About Saint James

There are a number of Saint Jameses in the New Testament – Saint James the brother of Jesus (‘St. James the Just’), Saint James the son of Zebedee (‘St. James the Great’) and Saint James the son of Alphaeus (‘St. James the Less’). The shells that adorn the outside of the parish hall (a symbol of St. James the Great) suggest that our parish is named for this St. James.

Site Dedication

This site was made possible by, and is dedicated to, the Loving Memory of Judy Dress.
