Fun Family Devotion
Vacation Bible School is coming
Vacation Bible School at St. Mark’s
will be a high-flying adventure the
week of July 22-26. Our theme this
year is Sky, so imagine flying the
friendly skies where kids learn to trust
God! We’re all getting ready for a soar-
ing good time!
VBS is the perfect time to make new
friends and learn that Everything Is Possible with God!
Each day, kids and adults participate in small groups,
called crews, where they’ll meet a new Bible buddy and
learn a new Bible point to help grow closer to God. We’ll
explore Bible truths with memory verses. You and your
kids will discover that with God, the sky’s the limit!
Sky provides amazing Bible learning experiences in-
volving our eyes, ears, hands and even our taste buds!
Our flight crews will visit stations like Imagination Sta-
tion, All-Star Games, Wild Blue Bible Adventures, Skydive
Diner and the popular Chadder’s Sky High Movie.
(There’s a new animated version this year.) These activi-
ties help faith flow into real life. We’ll also be collecting
school supplies for Families Helping Families as the mis-
sion project. Get ready for a high-flying
adventure that will change you forever!
Register your children, ages 3
through 5th grade (as of Fall 2012) for
crew placement. Register yourself to be
a volunteer (must be entering 6th grade
in the fall or older).
There are hundreds of opportunities
to get involved, ranging from behind-the-scenes tasks to
working directly with the children throughout the week.
Do you love God? Do you love kids? VBS makes it easy
with little or no preparation! Just show up and let God
bless your day! (We provide training and materials.)
Pick up a donation card at the VBS display in The
Crossings and provide supplies or cash to help us make
this year’s VBS an adventure of a lifetime for our kids and
the kids in our community.
Register online at www.faith-life.org by following the
VBS logo or pick up a VBS form at church. For more infor-
mation, please contact Lynne at [email protected] or call
