FROM THE ARCHIVES:
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
The St. David’s annual Vacation Bible School (VBS) has been going strong since 1939! With the arrival of a new Director of Religious Education and Young People’s Worker, Miss Marie Turley in 1937, the VBS tradition included “learning, singing, playing and making interesting things.” More recent photographs indicate that our young people continue to have lots of fun each summer thanks to the support of the entire St. David’s community….and, in 1991, a few camels and donkeys too!
VBS 2024's theme is Camp Firelight with s’mores, crafts, and camping fun! Adults who would like to volunteer, please contact Fr. Kristin Bell. Teen volunteers please contact Kelsey Cooper.
