VBS 2025 - Epic Australian Adventure at St. Paul's Lutheran, Columbia, IL

Hello! Thank you for your interest in our program this year! 

We are thankful that we have had so much interest in this year's VBS ministry. We are currently at capacity for Epic Australian Adventure. Please contact carleigh.ottwell@gmail.com if you have any questions. 

If you would like to volunteer, we still need helpers! Contact the email above for more information!

Warm greetings to our families planning to join us for our VBS in 2025!

Our week starts on Monday, June 9th through Friday, June 13th, 2024 from 9 am - 12 pm. 

The week will end with a short closing program starting at 12 PM on Friday in the church sanctuary, followed by a pizza lunch with kids and their families!

All families who wish to attend should pre-register using this form or by emailing our director at carleigh.ottwell@gmail.com.

Please feel free to invite friends and family to register for our event. We will have activities for students in PreK3 through 6th grade. 

A note for our PreK families (entering PreK3, PreK4, or Kindergarten),

• Children must be potty trained to attend. Please contact our director, Carleigh Ottwell, at carleigh.ottwell@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns about this.

• There is a section on the application asking for your child's birthdate. Please provide this so we can group our younger and older preK students appropriately.

• Pick up and Drop Off procedures will be communicated to families as the date approaches. Please check your email about a week before the event for these procedures.

• Sometimes, our little ones (or parents) have a tough time being away from one another. Fear not! Our PreK program has time built in for students and parents to start their VBS day taking a few minutes to learn about the love of Jesus. More information about this will be communicated in our PickUp/Drop Off procedures.

Thank you again for your interest in VBS 2025 - Epic Australian Adventure at St. Paul's. We hope your child learns and grows in Christ this week as they hear the word and are in fellowship with other children and adults of faith!

Any other questions or concerns, please email carleigh.ottwell@gmail.com or call the church office at (618)281-4600.
