vacation bible school - so much fun...
a week-long summer camp designed to help kids learn about Jesus
VBS 2025
Dates: July 21 - 25, 2025
Theme: True North: Trusting Jesus in a Wild World
2026 VBS Dates and Theme coming soon!
Vacation Bible School was so much fun!
Thank you to all our wonderful leaders and helpers for making this year's VBS a success! We had a great time learning about Alaska, exploring the outdoors, and seeing how we can trust Jesus in a wild world through fun games, bible adventure stories, cool science experiments, singing, dancing and more!
Also a big thank you to all our participants! We had a fundraiser during the week to raise money for children in need of warm coats through the Knights of Columbus
Coats for Kids project. Over the course of the week, from pennies to dollar bills, our children raised $362.49, which is enough to provide over 17 children new warm coats for the winter!
Want to help?
It takes many hands to make this a wonderful week for children and their families. We start planning in January and we need helpers and leaders for set up/clean up, leading groups of children, leading specific stations, helping in the kitchen, and more. Join us for the whole week, or just a day or two during the week. We have roles for middle schoolers through adults. See what past helpers have to say about VBS below.
If you are interested in helping with planning and/or putting on this great event, sign up to help below or contact Gayle for more info.

what do Adult Helpers and Teen Leaders learn about god and feel more connected to the comunity?
“Just being able to see the kids learn about Jesus through the songs, games, and other activities, helped strengthen my faith!”
“Becoming more familiar with the Bible verses and connecting the key points to our everyday existence... in a way for children to understand which in turn helped me become more aware having to teach it!”
“I recognize more people at Mass now and it feels great to have that connection.”
