Vacation Bible School at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church
Come explore Ancient Egypt and join Joseph on his journey from prison to palace! July 12 - 16
Pre-K and Kindergarteners will meet in the preschool from 9:30am to noon each day.
1st through 8th graders will meet downstairs in the parish hall from 6-8:30pm each day.
Each day your child will meet with their Egyptian family small group for an opening activity. They will then rotate through centers where they will hear and discuss a Bible story, make a craft, eat a nut-free snack and participate in a fun game or activity. Weather permitting they will have an opportunity for supervised outdoor play each day. Please dress your child in clothes that can get a little messy!
*Our evening program will include a snack, but not a meal, so please feed your children dinner before they arrive.
