HUMC VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2022

 

 

Mon 7/18-Thurs 7/21, 6-8pm each evening

Open to all Pre-K through 5th graders

 

Our Food Truck Party VBS invites children of all ages to get on a roll with God as a parade of Food Trucks rolls into Hockessin UMC for the summer's biggest party!  Using Matthew 6:11; "Give us this day our daily bread", children are invited to pray as Jesus teaches. These words serve as a reminder that our daily needs are met by God.

 

Through stories in both the Old and New Testaments, this VBS opens kids' eyes to the countless ways God provides, loves, and cares for us while inviting them to join God in providing, loving, and caring for others. The goal of Food Truck Party is to help children build on the practice of using daily prayer to turn to God for their needs - and also to serve as the hands of God in ensuring that the needs of others are met.

 

 

In small grade-level groups that are led by adults & youth volunteers from HUMC, children will rotate to areas focused om Music, Games, Crafts, Science, and Drama. Each evening will begin and end with all groups together for songs and lessons taught with the help of entertaining puppet, DJ Cupcake, with a Food Truck Party theme.

 

 

Free registration! To reserve a spot for your child, click the link under the announcement on the Home page.
