Welcome

Welcome to our VBS site! Here you'll find updates, reminders, requests, and pictures each day about our camp. Visit regularly to see what's going on.  Check out today's photos and Parent Newsletter below.

Day 1 - We survived Hurricane Beach!  The heavy winds and rain certainly came on as a sudden suprise just prior to our start. But even with the late arrivals and moving outdoor centers inside, our great volunteers took it in stride and we had a successful 1st day. 

The Parent Letters will help you to reinforce and extend the daily lessons.
Let's hope for good beach weather tomorrow morning! 

Day 2 - Beach weather!  The campers had a blast outside playing recreation games and listening to Bible stories on Bonfire Beach (the patio on front of the church.  Throughout the day they heard about what it means to trust, and to "look-up" to Jesus as someone they can trust.

Day 3 - A nice pleasant beach day!  The campers are getting into the music more as they learn the words and movements, and opening up more for discussions as they get more comfortable with their leaders and each other.  They reflected on why they need Jesus, and were reminded that Jesus' death & resurrection made it possible for us to "Join Up" with Him and be part of God's family.... "Jesus is the way and the truth and the life" (John 14:6).

The campers loved "combing the beach" around our campus for sea shells (spread about by our crack teen staff)!  Each camper was allowed to keep their favorite shell treasure!

Day 4 - Our campers "opened up" to Jesus today!  They heard that even when they mess up Jesus forgives them if they are truly sorry and helps them make a fresh start through the sacrament of Reconciliation.  They had fun making sun visors and fishing poles, cooling off with a water balloon toss, and seeing all the neat stuff at our VBS Garage Sale!

Day 5 - Our campers showed that they were "fired up" for Jesus in their performances at our closing ceremonies.  Kathleen Kaye had the children well-prepared for their moment in the spotlight!  Colleen Lieberstein and her crew warmed the kids up with carnival-like beach games and snacks throughout the morning. Our Big Question of the day was "What does Jesus want me to do?"  That's a question we all struggle with on a daily basis.  They learned that Jesus wants them to know Him and love Him, and to share him with others.  They saw how they could respond to Jesus' call to help others by donating some of their stuff to the VBS Garage Sale. 

Fr. Brian thanked everyone for coming and gave us a final blessing. 

Thank you to a great group of volunteers for making this such a successful event!
