At Vacation Bible School, kids approximately aged 5-11 years old (Grades K – 5) experience the extraordinary love of Jesus in a fun, faith-filled environment. VBS is a 4-day-long summer experience held from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM in the St. John's Parish Life Center (PLC). It supports our parish and area young people through lively faith education, music, activities, games, and prayer.

This summer's theme is  SPARK Studios – Created In Christ & Designed for God’s Purpose! SPARK invites children to use their imagination and kick creativity in to high gear!  Kids will learn that God’s creativity didn’t stop in Genesis.  The Master Artist is working to redeem, reclaim, and transform us – His creation – to the design He planned for us.  Kids will see the beautiful truth that they are God’s workmanship as they learn to use their talents to bring glory to Him!
