vbsCommissioning of VBS Participants and Volunteers
This Sunday, June 24
This year's VBS, June 25-28, follows the surprising life of David, the young shepherd boy who becomes king of all Israel.
Join us this Sunday, June 24, during worship as we commission all Vacation Bible School and PresbyCamp participants and volunteers for next week's camp. Our God has entrusted us with the message of love and we set apart time each summer to nurture the spiritual growth of our youth and children.

In the morning children will enjoy an educational program with music, recreation, arts and crafts, and Bible stories. In the afternoon, older children continue the fun and fellowship with a focus on mission as they go on field trips and engage in local mission projects.
