Vacation Bible School 2012

[filefield-filename]

Come trekking with us at the Sonrise National Park
Where All Trails Lead to Jesus.

Registration for VBS begins March 9th and closes June 22 2012.

Come explore this awesome wilderness adventure were the children will enjoy the snow capped mountains, thundering waterfalls, wildflower meadows and amazing animals. The children will be experiencing high-energy games, cool wilderness crafts, delicious snacks, great music and fun-loving skits.

As the children explore and experience this great endeavor they will learn the most important survival skill of all: they can always depend on Jesus and his promises of true peace, true riches, true power, true love, and true hope. We hope you come trekking with us on the trails of Sonrise National Park where all trails lead to Jesus.

My God will fully supply
whatever you need,
in accord with his glorious
riches in Christ Jesus
Philippians 4:19
