What an amazing week we had at our SCUBA-themed Vacation Bible School from July 22-25! We’re overjoyed to report that nearly 40 children from both Immanuel Lutheran and Grace Lutheran churches participated in this year’s underwater adventure of faith.
Each evening, our young divers plunged into a sea of fun and learning. The nights kicked off with an exciting opening session featuring skits, lively songs, and energetic dancing. Children also met their daily Bible buddies and learned a new Bible verse to guide their journey.
From there, our VBS explorers rotated through a variety of engaging stations:
- Imagination Station: Kids dove into STEM activities, learning about God’s creation through hands-on experiments.
- Bible Stories: This year’s immersive experience allowed children to step “inside a whale” and “inside a tomb,” bringing Bible narratives to life in a unique way.
- Sticky Scripture: Dancing and following action prompts helped make God’s Word stick in young hearts and minds.
- Games: Team-based activities got kids moving and working together, burning energy while building friendships.
- Snack Time: A daily opportunity to refuel and enjoy fellowship with new and old friends alike.
We were thrilled to see such fantastic attendance each day, with children eager to return for more underwater adventures in faith.
None of this would have been possible without our incredible team of volunteers. From crew leaders to station leaders and kitchen helpers to our outgoing director, Angie, and our new VBS director, Kourtney – we extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you. Your dedication and enthusiasm made this week truly special.
VBS provides a wonderful opportunity for children of our congregation to celebrate Jesus’ love during the summer months in a fun, engaging way. It’s also a fantastic outreach, allowing us to share this joyful time with other children from our community.
To all who participated in this year’s SCUBA VBS 2024 – thank you for diving deep into God’s love with us! Your enthusiasm and energy made this week unforgettable.
Stay tuned for information about next year’s VBS theme and dates. We can’t wait to embark on another faith-filled adventure with you!
