Join us for the River of Life VBS! During VBS we are journeying down the river to learn about God's gracious gift of water. From the waters of baptism to the waters that sustain farms and gardens, water is life! Children will learn about the importance of water and visit important "ports" during the week to hear Bible stories about water. They will also hear about communities working to restore watersheds, to protect rights to water and to ensure safe water for everyone. And of course, we'll have some outdoor fun with water! The River of Life VBS curriculum is from ELCA World Hunger. More information about this ministry of the ELCA can be found at https://www.elca.org/Our-Work/Relief-and-Development/ELCA-World-Hunger
