There will be plenty for everyone to enjoy, including a waterslide bounce house for the kids and live music from a traditional German band to make the evening even more festive.

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening of great food, music, and community!

This summer we are going on an epic Tropical Trek! Where the kids will explore God’s Word (the Bible) and discover how God finds and helps us in every situation we encounter in life. Our world is filled with exciting things to explore and enjoy. But there are also challenges and hardships we face along the way. Our loving and powerful God desires to help us. He seeks us out and leads us to faith. We can trust in Him! At Tropical Trek, kids will learn how Jesus seeks them and all people. He is the Son of Man, who came to seek and to save the lost!

Each night will last from 5:00-7:30 pm, with dinner from 5 -6 pm.
Pastor Krieg will offer a Bible class for adults during kids' activities, so there will be something for everyone.

We need adult volunteers to help lead music, crafts, games, and the kitchen. If you are interested, please contact the Board of Ed or sign up in the parish hall. Also, if you are interested in your child or grandchild participating in VBS this summer, please sign them up in the parish hall.
