Vacation Bible School 2010
June 28 – July 2
9am – 12pm

Take a walk on the wild side at Kingdom of the Son VBS! During this spectacular prayer safari, kids journeyed into the Serengeti—the magnificent grassland region of Tanzania and Kenya. They discovered exotic animals, engaged in safari mission projects, played exciting games, sang upbeat songs and enjoyed delicious safari snacks.

And while your kids were having safari fun, they also learned to talk to God as they explored the Lord’s Prayer, and went on an expedition of God’s Word.
