Created + Called!
VBS is available for children ages 3 (must be potty-trained) through 3rd grade. During the week, we will be learning through four well-loved Disney movies alongside favorited Bible stories that will bring the theme of "how to care for the Earth" to life for each child in a new way! We have developed our own curriculum based off of the movies Elemental, The Lion King, Pocahontas and Frozen 2! Each day we will be focusing on one of those movies. We start as a large group together watching specific scenes that support our theme to kick off our learning. As we dive deep into the theme of caring for God's Creation, we will use Bible stories, crafts, games, music and science lessons each day to learn and have fun!
For the majority of our evening, we break up into small groups based on age and experience different stations each night to help us fully discover more about God, ourselves, and each other.
We will start with dinner for your whole family at 5:30p, and then begin programming at 6:00pm, starting together in our Sanctuary. After a movie clip and opening assembly, we will then split up into our small groups and visit each station. We will end back in our Sanctuary for a closing (and music rehearsal as a group). Pick-up will be back in our Sanctuary at 8:00pm. This will be our schedule for Monday-Thursday. Friday night will look a little different, as we will finish our lessons on Thursday. Friday evening we will celebrate the week and end with a celebratory dinner on our front lawn and a chance for families to hear the music we have learned from the week.
Cost is $40 per child. You can pay ahead now by visiting Worthington UMC's payment site and selecting Vacation Bible School. You can also drop off payment by cash or check into our church office in an envelope marked VBS and the name of your child.
We ask you to please complete registration and payment by Monday, May 27th. This helps gaurantee a t-shirt for your child, and ensure we have an accurate headcount for dinners and supplies. Registration after May 27th will be only be approved if space is available.
*We need many hands to make VBS happen! Please consider how you may give support. Could you help with set-up or take down? Or pick a night to help with dinner clean-up? If so, you can sign up for that on this site as well or simply e-mail Ashley Gerard.
If you have any further questions, please contact Ashley Gerard, the director of children and youth programming at WUMC: ashley@worthingtonumc.com
