Monday, June 23 - Friday, June 27 -- “Becoming Storykeepers” Vacation Bible School

Bring your children and grandchildren to join the excitement of being a Christian in ancient Rome and help “keep the stories of Jesus alive” in this year’s Vacation Bible School at Grace, June 23-27, 9:00 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.

In the marketplace a master storyteller will tell us the Gospel stories of Zacchaeus, Calming a Storm, The Good Samaritan, Blind Bartimaeus, and Two Houses. Then we’ll watch animated movies about Ben and Helena and their adopted children having adventures with the early church: “Breakout!” “Raging Waters,” “Catacomb Rescue,” “Read, Aim, Fire!” and “Sink or Swim.”

We’ll go to the Coliseum for games, to Nero’s Palace for music, to the Catacombs for arts and crafts, and to Ben’s Bakery for storylearning. We’ll all become Storykeepers!

This summer’s Vacation Bible School is open to all children scheduled to enter kindergarten through 6th grade. Register in the church office or contact Children’s Ministry Director, Donna Johnson, 278-4731.
