Vacation Bible School 2011
Aug. 1st to the 5th—- 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

“Shake it Up” – Where Kids Carry Our Recipe

The Café was named “Shake it Up” because Jesus calls us to “shake up” our lives and become his followers. The Bible gives us the recipe: be ready for God’s call, give happily to God and to others, and believe fully in Jesus as God’s Son.

Our culture is embracing healthy eating habits. More households are choosing home-cooked meals to increase family time and improve nutrition. We will be making fruit salad, harvest trail mix, oatmeal cookies, and smoothies.

Each Bible story will help children understand how God’s people prepared for celebrations, what happened at some of the feasts, and how other activities took place in ancient times.

On Aug. 4th we will be taking a trip to the Turtle Back Zoo in West Orange.

Please fill out the registration forms as soon as possible. Our church is air conditioned and we have small wading pools for the children. Further information will be sent to you after we process the registration form.
