Vacation Bible School
 

Vacation Bible School is offered from 9:00AM-11:30AM, Monday thru Friday, during the second week of June.  VBS is open to all children entering Kindergarten in the fall and up to and including children entering the 5th grade in the fall.  The registration process for VBS begins in April and continues through the middle of May.

During the week of VBS, children will gather together in the morning for our opening assembly.  With their adult leaders, children rotate between Bible lessons, crafts, games and snacks.  The Bible lessons and activities will be linked to our Catholic traditions.

The theme for VBS June 2008 is:

"A visit to the theme park is a day of choices.  The clickety-clack of a wooden coaster, or the speedy swoosh of tubular steel?  The cool tartness of frozen lemonade, or the gooey richness of a giant cinnamon roll?

The choices we make in a theme park will determine the kind of day we'll have.  But the big and little choices we make every day will determine what kind of lives we'll have, our relationships with those around us, and ultimately our relationship with God.  And all that begins with our understanding of who is Jesus, and how will we choose to respond to Him?  At SonWorld Adventure Park VBS, your kids will meet various people who encountered Jesus and discover how they responded to Him:

   *  A blind man was given sight by Jesus.  Afterward, the man made the startling claim that Jesus is God's promised Savior.  Will your kids also Choose to BELIEVE?

   *  Ten men with leprosy were healed by Jesus.  When your kids see people in need of God's love, will they Choose to ACT?

   *  When a paralyzed man was first forgiven and then healed by Jesus, witnesses questioned Jesus' right to forgive sin.  Will your kids Choose FORGIVENESS?

   *  A rich young ruler met Jesus, seeking eternal life.  When he learned what he needed to give up in order to obey Jesus, he walked away sadly.  Will your kids Choose to OBEY?

   *  The disciple Thomas doubted his friends when they said that Jesus is alive.  But when he saw Jesus, he believed.  Will your kids also Choose JESUS?

At SonWorld Adventure Park there's no height requirement, the lines are short and everyone gets a good view of the parade.  But hold on to your hats and glasses, because it's sure to be a life-changing ride!"
