From 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM June 24th to 28th St John’s children’s and youth ministries are offering the opportunity to journey with them to discover the world of Parables. This week-long Bible camp, designed around the parables Jesus taught, will take campers in grades K-8 on a quest to unlock the spiritual lessons of Jesus’ simple stories.
Each day will start with an opening assembly and then we will break into small groups for faith-based lessons designed to keep kids engaged and learning with lesson tailored to different age levels. Through a variety of activities like catchy songs, games, crafts, and more our youngest parishioners will discover how God loves them and sent His Son to have a relationship with them. Following a recreation time, camp will conclude daily with lunch together. The week will wrap up on Friday with a goodbye gathering.
With this camp, kids of all ages will experience the parables of Jesus in new and exciting ways while continuing their Biblical education and putting their faith into action with a community service project! Join us as we embark on an epic quest through the parables of Jesus and dig into action-packed, faith-filled adventures.
Vacation Bible Camp is offered free of charge.
