Vacation bible school
Each year, St. George Church hosts a week-long Vacation Bible School in an effort to provide a fun, engaging, Bible-centered experience to the youth of the parish. VBS focuses on bringing each child closer to Jesus Christ in interactive ways through the help of many wonderful volunteers who share their faith.
Volunteer and Participant Testimonials:
VBS started for me as a necessity seven years ago. The year before, we couldn't have VBS because we didn't have the volunteers and my children were disappointed. I made a commitment that I would volunteer to make sure we did not face that problem again. The first day of VBS was hard. Getting the kids attention and keeping it and I went home a defeated man. My wife and I prayed on it and God moved me to just be myself, talk to the kids like people and let them hear His word. From that day forward, Christ moved in me. I went and had fun with them children. I encouraged them to ask questions and we had a blast!! I have scheduled my vacation time from work every year around VBS because of how it fills my heart. My daughters volunteer every year now as well. I see children around town and they recognize me from VBS and it fills me with joy when they come and say hello! Not having VBS during Corona closure was the hardest part of the shut down for me. Between VBS and the Fish Fry, I could not witness the Lord move people in a better way!!
~ John Edwards, VBS volunteer
I love VBS at St. George because it is a great way for me as a teacher to see my students learn about their faith outside the classroom. I love to watch their enthusiasm about Jesus throughout the day.
~ Lara Bettencourtt, VBS volunteer
I have been involved with St. George VBS for many years now. It is such a privilege to share our faith with the children in our parish. Through the dedication of many adult and teen volunteers our children experience God's love through crafts, music, games, and drama performances. And they live out our faith through service projects. St. George VBS is designed for every child from preschool through middle school to learn about Jesus on their level. A highlight of my summer is seeing the children of our parish excited about signing, dancing, and praising our wonderful God. My children and myself have been blessed by our participation in this ministry.
