Vacation Bible School: Who is My Neighbor?

God created us to be in relationship with one another. This is an invitation to be active in loving, peacemaking, and prayer with our neighbors. As a community, let us explore what it means to reach out to our neighbors with the love of Christ.
 
Every Sunday in July will offer an opportunity for our children to engage more deeply with adults around the Scripture story before they travel to their own space for games, crafts, and more in-depth discussion. Adults will share together in dialogue sermons around each text during the time of worship.
