Start the Party! VBS 2023

This summer is providing us with new opportunities and we look forward to embracing VBS for kids in preschool through fifth grade at St. Andrew! Monday, June 17 through Thursday, June 20 from 5:15-8:00 pm, we’re Starting the Party! We will start the night by providing a free meal to all families who attend. Then, we will start the party and celebrate the good news of Jesus with a variety of fun games, crafts, and music. Jesus gives us the most amazing reason to party. That’s why we believe God’s love and the Gospel of Jesus is the best news ever! VBS is a great chance to have an engaging, fun-filled week! We hope you all join us!

What to Expect

When you arrive, you and your family are welcome to join us for a dinner starting at 5:15 pm. After eating dinner make sure to check your children in the Commons (lobby) and drop off at the Great Room at 5:50 pm. We will be starting right at 6:00 pm, so please have all kids checked in by then. Kids will be welcomed in and be assigned to their group for the week, where they will get to engage in lots of fun! We will sing some high energy music, experience Bible stories, engage in various crafts and games and even serve towards a mission project (more info coming soon!). We hope that being part of our VBS will create a space for a fun, memorable week with your kids as they learn these foundational truths as their understanding of God evolves. We encourage families to download the music we will sing during VBS from iTunes, Youtube Music, or Spotify playlists. You may register children and volunteers using the buttons below on or after Sunday, April 14! 

VBS is free to everyone! If you are part of St. Andrew and would like to, you are welcome to make a donation

Missions

Learning about and supporting missions during VBS is a St. Andrew tradition. This year we are volunteering to make 160 to-go bagged meals. LUM offers to-go bagged meals all year long. They are given to our neighbors in need. This is a great opportunity to support our community and share the love of God. For more information on LUM’s mission on their website

If you would like to help donate supplies for the to-go meals please use the sign up below.
