Vacation Bible School 2018-Quest for Jesus!

Our 2018 Vacation Bible School week is quickly approaching--July 9-13th. Don’t miss out on this opportunity for your children to grow in their faith as they grow in community.

Vacation Bible School takes place from 8:30 am to 12:00 each morning. Each day, the children learn about Jesus and about our faith in songs, crafts, games, acting, etc. This week is packed with fun- all while growing closer to Christ!

We are still looking for teens to assist us as leaders for this Vacation Bible School week. Teens serve as group leaders and station assistants. It is their energy that drives the week for the whole group!

The Church, from our earliest days, has seen the blood and water flowing from Christ’s side (see John 19,34) as the fulfillment of His promise to give “living water” (John 4,13-14), the fountain from which the Spirit flows upon the Church. The Sacred Heart of Jesus has always been a reminder that our human feelings, desires, and inclinations—our hearts—must be inclined to God’s providential love for each and every one of us. The Sacred Heart also reminds us of the overflowing grace that comes to us through Jesus.
