Vacation Bible School
2011 Vacation Bible School (VBS)
Another Successful Year Took Place
July 25th to 29th, 2011
9am to Noon
VBS at Trinity
This year’s Vacation Bible School, SonSurf Beach Bash, was an unforgettable beach blast where kids came to know the living Jesus who said: “I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except
through me” (John 14:6). It gave the answers to 5 big questions. It was our prayer that everyone made connections and memories that will last a lifetime and their relationships with God grew.
This year there were 45 VBS participants, with approximately half of them from outside our Trinity church community. Besides the enthusiastic children attending, there were over 48 people who volunteered their time and
talent, before and during VBS week.
This has been such a fabulous experience for our children. Seeing their smiles, receiving their heartfelt “Thank you’s” and most of all watching them grow in God’s love throughout the week has been a very rewarding time for
the volunteers. Thank you, Lord for this opportunity.
Trinity’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs have always been a big hit and the only complaint heard about previous VBS camps from all of the participants was that it wasn’t run all summer. The enthusiasm of the children attending VBS is contagious and adjectives such as “awesome”, “fantastic” “fun filled” “biblically educational” are only a few of the descriptions used to describe this week full of crafts, songs, games, snacks, stories, plays and bible lessons. Each day the children are lead through a fast paced series of activities that teaches and reinforces the Bible lesson for the day. Side benefits include making friends with the other children and the adult volunteers, learning how to help team members and acquiring, according to statistics on vacation bible schools, the equivalent of a whole year’s worth of Sunday School in the space of one week.

VBS 2009 at Trinity
Vacation Bible School, Wildwood Forest,2009, which ran from July 27th to 31st, 9 am to noon was an adventure into the untamed nature of God. All week, participants learned about how God is undefeatable, unmatchable, uncontainable, unpredictable, and unforgettable. It was our prayer that everyone made connections and memories that will last a lifetime and their relationships with God grew.
The theme of VBS 2009 was Wildwood Forest, a place where children could:
- discover the untamed nature of God
- learn that God’s character goes beyond their imaginations and can be revealed in exciting, unexpected ways
- embark on a thrilling journey. In every corner, children will
- encounter the fascinating, life-transforming nature of God in every corner
- find that He is as wild as He is good
- experience the many facets of God’s character with Bible dramas at The Great Oak Theater,
- challenge their game playing skills at the Vine Land Adventure Course
- see God’s power firsthand through fun experiments at the Glow Rock Hideaway
- create memorable crafts at the Treetop Art Studio
- enjoy a time of refreshment and rest with tasty snacks at Harvest Grove
- worship our amazing God at The Heights.
Each child has a special place in this forest, regardless of age, as the program has been developed to reach children at their own level.
