The public is invited to join with Community Christian Church, 400 E. State Street (M-21) in St. Johns, for their free Vacation Bible School to be held Sunday through Thursday, June 12-16, 2011 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The church’s V.B.S. is for children, preschool through 5th grade.
This year’s theme is Pandamania: Where God Is Wild About You!
This summer kids’ event called PandaMania will be hosted at Community Christian Church, where participants will explore a bamboo forest filled with crazy pandas as they discover that God loves us. Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, dig into yummy treats, experience electrifying Bible adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God’s wild love, and create Bible Point crafts they’ll take home and play with all summer long. And children will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with a Rowdy Wrap-Up-a celebration that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned.
Family members and friends (also called “Very Important Pandas”) are encouraged to join in daily for this special conclusion at 7:40 p.m.
PandaMania involves more than fun-filled events and learning about Jesus. It also enables kids to put their faith and knowledge into action by sharing God’s love with Rock Lake Christian Assembly, a Christian camp for children and youth, which is located in Vestaburg, Michigan. The camp is in need of new canoes (costing $600 each), and children will have an opportunity to contribute funds each night to assist RLCA in purchasing one or more canoes for their camping ministry to young people. Henry Hawver, general manager of the camp, will be on hand at various times throughout the week to tell kids about the camp’s exciting opportunities and adventures as they work to influence people with God’s love.
For more information or to register your child contact the church at 989-224-6421, and either Julie or Marie will get your child pre-registered for this year’s PANDAMANIA VBS event.
