Vacation Bible School 2025 was a Big Success!
7/7/25 – 7/11/25
A fun-filled week of games, story-telling and crafts. Preschoolers (3-year-old) through 5th grade attended.
Kids took on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where the northern lights shine over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and sparkling glaciers. As they treked the tundra, they discovered how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Guiding them towards Jesus, True North VBS revealed that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!
Kids fostered a deeper connection with our faithful friend, Jesus, while discovering the great Alaskan frontier. As kids treked through the tundra of Alaska and experienced what it means to trust in Jesus.

Lessons On the Way: Set Your Mind
SCRIPTURE: Colossians 3:1-11; Luke 12:13-21
Colossians 3 says, “Set your minds on things that are above, not on the things that are on earth” (v. 2, NRSVue). Today’s texts center our minds and souls on the realm of God. Often, we are drawn by unhealthy paths on this earth—from greed to behaviors that hurt our neighbors. As we clothe ourselves with the gifts of God and the knowledge that we are made in God’s image, let us use our resources to build the realm of God here on earth. Today, we embody a spirit of renewal, embrace the love of God, and work to share this love with our siblings, with whom we share an eternal connection.
