Splash Canyon 2018 Vacation Bible School |
|
|
At Splash Canyon VBS, your children look into the Bible, God's Holy Word and learn God's promises are Yes in Jesus! Kids confidently celebrate that our faithful God is with us on life's wild ride. God saves us through Jesus and gives us life and hope every day and forever. Our program runs from Sunday, August 5 thru Friday, August 10. The children will be divided into classes based on his/her age group. Content and class work is designed to deliver the same message but in a way that is fitted to the level of the children in each class. This is done to keep the class entertaining yet engaging. Outside of the classroom sessions, the children will discover that the fun is endless as they have a blast playing exciting GAMES, making CRAFTS, singing upbeat SONGS and enjoying tasty SNACKS. |
