We are currently planning to hold VBS at the Kent UMC the week of June 17–20. (four days) The theme this year will be JUST Like Me! “JUST Like Me is an inclusive VBS curriculum that will help kids celebrate their identity as God’s beloved creations just as they are! Through scripted lessons and extension activities, students will practice sharing, asking questions, using their voice, finding community, and speaking up for others.”
Everyone has a song to sing and a gift to bring! This is especially true in our community garden. Each member of the Garden Group is unique, and we need each of their gifts to make our garden thrive. Just like the characters in the Bible stories we learn each day, our gardeners know that the things that make them different are also the things that make them special!
So come and join us in the garden June 17–20 as we celebrate who we are, learn how to use our voice, and share our gifts with our community! Each day we’ll meet a new member of our Garden Group who will share their special gift and invite us into a new Bible lesson and skill. Visiting gardeners (students) will get to explore the stories of a variety of First and Second Testament characters through the eyes of our gardeners in order to understand that these amazing characters in the Bible are just like us! Please contact our Director of Children’s Ministries, Chelsea Alderson, with any questions.
