2018 Vacation Bible School

This year’s Vacation Bible School is set for Monday, June 11—Friday, June 15, 9:00 AM—11:00 AM. The theme is THE ARMOR OF GOD. Paul tells us in Ephesians that we are caught in the middle of a spiritual war. He doesn’t tell us this to scare us, but to prepare us for life’s everyday battles. God has given us tools to defend ourselves in these spiritual battles. These tools are laid out in Ephesians 6:11-18.
