Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School

VBS was held from 9 AM – Noon, June 27-July 1, 2011 for children ages 3yrs thru 5th grade along with many older youth and adult volunteers.

SonSurf VBS was a splashing success! Over 50 children were fired up for Jesus by the end of the week! Over 40 volunteers shared their time during the week of VBS and many, many more generously made donations to make it all happen. Thank you Faith Family for bringing VBS back to Faith Lutheran Church!

“’Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.’” John 14:6

As the kids explored the wonders of the beach, they also discovered Big Answers to their Big Questions about Jesus including:  Who is Jesus? Why can I trust Jesus? Why do I need Jesus? How can Jesus help me when I mess up? What does Jesus want me to do?

Five essential Bible verses – including John 14:6 – helped them understand who Jesus is and why they need Him. At SonSurf Beach Bash VBS, kids learned that there is only one truth: Jesus!
