LINCOLN AREA VBS

 

JeffStreet Christian Church Launches its

First Ever Family Vacation Bible School
 

More than 50 volunteers have come together to prepare for JeffStreet’s adventurous, fun, first ever Family Vacation Bible School. JeffStreet hosts this volunteer-driven, non-profit outreach event at its church campus in Lincoln.

This year’s theme is “The Walking Dead: Come Forth” – a theme that boldly and enthusiastically conveys that we are NEW and that God has a plan and unique purpose for each and every person. Families of all sizes, types, ages, and stages participate in numerous fun events and activities throughout each evening. Some of the highlights of the adventure are a live band, a large group games area and lending a helping hand back to the community.

“In our area families have a lot of summer VBS options to choose from. What makes ours unique – in addition to all the fun – is that there’s an equal emphasis on helping the kids build a spiritual foundation and being WITH their family. Our activities, caring volunteers and continual fun, can be a positive life-changing experience for all involved,” said Laura Moore, director of the Vacation Bible School.

For children whose parents cannot attend several volunteers will step in as “Foster Families” for this 3-day event. All are welcome!

The VBS experience begins July 21st and runs through July 23rd from 6-8pm each night. The public is invited to register and attend. Registration is online at tinyurl.com/WalkingDead2013 or can be completed by stopping at the church office at 1700 N. Jefferson Street.
