Up-Coming events

June 1, was the start of summer camp! We’ve got 14 children signed up so far, and still have room for more. The children range in age from 30 months to 9 years old. New learning centers will be set up just for the Summer Campers — Lego station, Video games, new manipulatives, brain-teaser puzzles, learning games, imaginative building materials, stories, visitors and more.

We’ve set up themes for each month. In June we will be blasting off into outer space with our “Space Camp”. The children will look for exciting planets, make a spaceship, study the stars, eat food just like the astronauts, learn about the international space station, see what it is like on the space “shuttle,” go for a moon walk, and have lots of hands-on learning.

July will bring us Safari Time! We will be searching and finding animals on our own playground, and surrounding property, as well as have lots of animal visitors. There will be insects, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals to study. Dioramas, crafts, mask making, play-acting, sounds bingo, and interesting animals to study and interact with; will fill July with wonder and discovery!

August: We hit the high seas with High Seas Expedition. We’ll be on board the S.S. JLOG for some rollicking sea-faring adventure. But watch it matey, or you’ll be walking the plank! There will be map skills, buried treasure, pirate talk, and games of daring as well as a full week of Vacation Bible School, expanding the theme.

“High Seas Expedition” is filled with incredible Bible-learning experience kids see, hear, touch, and even taste!  Bible Point crafts, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the “High Seas Expedition” activities that help faith flow into real life.  Plus, we will help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life – something we call God Sightings.  Get ready to hear that phrase a lot! Kids will also participate in a hands-on mission project.  They will make a toy and it will be sent to other children.  Parents, grandparents, and friends are invited to join us each day at 11:20 a.m.  That’s when we’ll be having the Floating Finale — a daily celebration of God’s love you won’t want to miss.  VBS is reasonably priced at $10.00 for the  week (to cover the cost of materials and snacks).  Please call 682-7377 to register,   or register online at www.groupvbspro.com/vbs/ez/Gracelutheranchurch
