Vacation Bible School (VBS)

We were so sad to not be able to share VBS in person with you at the AMC in June!  We missed seeing all of our wonderful VBS children, volunteers, and parents, but hope that this, our first-ever Virtual VBS: God with Us…Who is Jesus? will set your hearts on fire for the Lord and allow you to experience some of your favorite VBS activities from the safety and comfort of your own homes.

Over the course of five days, you will be invited to learn about an important part of Jesus' life right here on earth, by exploring...

Day 1: Jesus was born into a family…We have a family too.  
(The Annunciation) Luke 1: 26-38

Day 2: Jesus had a home…We have a home too.  
(The Escape to Egypt)  Matthew 2:13-23 

Day 3: Jesus spent time in God’s house…We spend time with God too.  (The Boy Jesus in the Temple)  Luke 2: 41-52

Day 4: Jesus faced temptation…We are tempted too. 
(Jesus is Tempted in the Desert) Luke 4: 1-13

Day 5: Jesus served others…We are called to serve others too.  
(The Wedding at Cana) John 2: 1-12
 

What you need to know before you start Virtual VBS 2020:

• Check out the document below, What You Need to Know Before You Begin Virtual VBS, outlining how Virtual VBS works and what craft and snack supplies we suggest that you have on hand before beginning the lessons and activities for the week.

• Each of the five days of VBS, you will be provided with a YouTube playlist featuring multiple videos bringing a single Bible Story lesson to life. You will also have a link to a packet of materials for each day featuring a craft (demonstrated via video), a snack, and alternate craft ideas as well as activity worksheets that can be printed out at home and completed by your children to supplement the daily lesson. The daily videos and resources packets can be accessed by clicking on the corresponding day’s VBS webpage listed to the left.

• There is no fee to participate in Virtual VBS 2020.  Be sure to share the links to the St. Laurence VBS web page with your family and friends!

Please help me in extending our sincere gratitude to the Clifford and Triesch families (including their friends and neighbors!) who so lovingly came together to bring this year's VVBS and our Bible stories to life! 

We are indebted to all of them for their loving commitment to the children and families of St. Laurence through the countless hours spent bringing this special gift to us all.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts!
 

Be assured that 
Rocky Railway: Jesus' Power Pulls Us Through!
