Meet Sam and Lu (Lumen) the Lightning Bug!
During Vacation Bible School, join first-time camp Counselor Sam and Lumen, "Lu," the lightning bug puppet, for a summer adventure at Camp Firelight. Campers accompany Counselor Sam and Lu during each assembly session and learn to face their fears while trusting in God. Each day, Campers see Counselor Sam face new challenges, from as simple as leading Campers on a hike to as intimidating as meeting a new and wise nature expert. With the help of Lu, the Lightning Bug, and the Camp Counselor Guidebook, Counselor Sam and the Campers explore timeless Bible stories showing how Old and New Testament Campers trusted God, faced their fears, and went on to do great things in God's name.
As Campers experience the stories through music, drama and storytelling, games, arts and crafts, science, and even snacks, they learn ways to connect with and trust God. And best of all, they understand they can connect with God at VBS, church, home, and every area of their lives. This unique Vacation Bible School program from Cokesbury Kids VBS invites children on an exciting journey where they learn to trust God no matter what situation life brings, know God is always with them, and feel confident in sharing the good news of God's love through Jesus Christ.

6th Graders: Mission Maniacs
If your child will be entering 6th grade this fall, please register them with the Mission Maniac Form found here.
Each day, our sixth graders will have the opportunity to take part in various outreach missions that help others. Our sixth graders will leave the church campus to be able to participate in making a difference and impacting our community actively. Parents will receive a full schedule of mission projects in early June once their sixth grader is registered. Some activities will require them to leave the church, so each 6th grader must complete a Mission Maniac permission slip in addition to the registration form in order to participate in the field trips.
Closing Celebration: An exciting Closing Celebration is scheduled for Thursday, June 27th. It will be a culmination of a week of learning about how we can always face our fears knowing that God is always with us. Stay tuned to learn more about what we have planned for our closing celebration!
