We're so excited to announce TOV's first ever Vacation Bible School! We believe in the life transformation that comes with coming to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. We don't think that salvation is just for the old or for those who have been through a lot in life but for everyone, including children. We also believe that learning about Jesus can be a whole lot of fun! The joy of the Lord is real and who better than to put that joy on display than our children. So for our first ever Vacation Bible School, we have chosen to focus on Romans 12:2, which reads:

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will."

We believe that as a part of our call, it is up to us (the church and parents collectively) to raise up the next generation to know the Lord, to love the Lord and to continue to tell others about Jesus long after we are gone. As you fill out the sign up, be in prayer for your kids, the other kids who will come and for the volunteers, that all would be open to seeing the transformative power of Jesus on full display.

Our Vacation Bible School will run from Tuesday, July 22 - Thursday, July 24. It will be for littles who are  3 + fully potty trained up through 5th grade. VBS will be held at the firehall with drop off happening from 8:30am - 9:00am. Pick up will be at 12 noon. On Thursday, we will be having a big celebration with an exotic animal show, water slide, blow up obstacle course, Kona Snow Cone truck and more so be sure your kids are dressed for the day!

If you have any additional questions regarding our VBS, please reach out via email to [email protected]

We're so excited for what the Lord is going to do over the 3 days of VBS and we are praying over everything as we finalize every little detail of the week. Each morning, our days will start with prayer, worship and a Bible lesson. After the lesson, the kids will break off into their different rotations. Each group will complete a craft, participate in an activity, have snack time and play a game, all of which will pertain to the lesson of the day and theme for the week. Please ensure kids are dressed for lots of moving around and fun!

For VBS week, we have booked some special things for the kids to do and experience. On Wednesday, the kids will get to see a presentation from a Bee Keeper and even eat their own honey stick! On Thursday, we want to close out the VBS week with a lot of fun so we've brought in an inflatable water slide, inflatable obstacle course, an exotic animal show (including snakes, lizards, parrots, etc.) and a Kona Ice Truck for a cold, sweet treat. Be sure to have kids dress appropriately for the activities of that day or bring them a spare change of clothes for the car ride home. 

Note: Similar to Sundays at TOV Church, use of cameras to capture pictures and videos of TOV services and events will be used to capture all of the fun that is happening during the week at VBS. We have included a copy of our waiver HERE for your review. 

If you have any concerns with your child having any snacks that aren't already captured within the allergy notes you submitted during sign up, please let Geralyn ([email protected]) or Pastor Avery ([email protected]) know

Note: The cut off for sign ups is Friday, July 18th
