Big City,
Bigger Fun!
VBS 2011
June 12-16
6-8 PM
Grab a cab and get ready for fun around
every corner at Vacation Bible School’s Big
Apple Adventure, where faith and life
connect. As kids explore the big city, they’ll
learn how to step out in faith and connect
with Jesus--sharing the message of Christ
with their world.
So faith comes from what is heard, and
what is heard comes through the message
of Jesus Christ. — Romans 10:17
“O Lord my God,
I take refuge in You…”
(Psalm 7:01)
