Summer Vacation Bible School

 
AUGUST 5 – 9, 2024
This is not your grandparents’ vacation Bible school. This is an engaging, strategic, fun-filled week for the Very Best Summer (VBS). This year’s theme is “Start the Party” – as in “Let’s start the party and celebrate the Good News!” Jesus gives us the most amazing reason to party. That’s why we believe God’s love and the Gospel of Jesus is the best news ever.
Celebrate the good news of Jesus as kids learn about:
-Friendship
-Belonging
-Forgiveness
-Abundant life
-Purpose
 
VBS takes place Monday, August 5th through Friday, August 9th from 9:00am to 12:00pm (12:15 on Friday). Registration is open to children four years old* through entering fifth grade
(*must be toilet-trained and able to use the restroom independently)
 
REGISTER HERE
(Please submit one form for each child.)
 
If you’d like to hear more about VBS at FCC, contact Alison at alison@fccstjoseph.org.

Nursery Care and Sunday School

 
Our nursery is open 15 minutes before worship every Sunday. In addition to upholding the highest standards of safety and cleanliness, the Christian Education Team helps introduce our infants and toddlers to the love of God through music, stories, and crafts.
 
For Sunday School, all kids begin in worship with their families and leave to the Sunday School Chapel after the Children’s Message. 
 
Our classes follow the Orange curriculum, which allows every class to study a familiar Bible topic each Sunday, making it easier for parents to guide family discussions afterwards about what each child learned. Learn more about the Orange Curriculum.
