Hickory Bend’s Vacation Bible School Theme for 2011 is:

SHAKE IT UP CAFÉ-

Register Here online or in person!

If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation . . . – 2 Corinthians 5:17a

In this kid-friendly café full of chef’s hats and aprons, pots and pans, checkered tablecloths, and chalkboard menus, kids explore the Bible as a cookbook filled with recipes for living out God’s word. Through interactive lessons, that are easy for kids to apply to their lives today, boys and girls will celebrate biblical festivals that reveal ingredients for being a follower of God.

All Children and Adults are Welcome

Sunday July 24 through Thursday 28^th.

All family members and friends are invited to the Thursday final night Celebration and graduation program and meal.

5:30 light supper served

6:00 to 8:00 break out sections with puppet, music, story, mission, discovery, craft, and games for kids and an adult class following the same theme.

Our SHAKE IT UP CAFÉ Carry Out order:

Take the love of Jesus and share it with everyone.

Join us for four evenings of Shake it Up!  Where we learn to carry out God’s recipe!  We are trying something new at the request of our youth.  They would like to have their own VBS before the children’s VBS.  The youth have said that as much as they love working in VBS being on staff, they don’t want to miss any of the fun or the Bible stories!  Yes.  That’s what they said.  We will study the same Bible stories the children and adults will be studying, but these lessons are named at youth.  We will learn how to be ready for God’s call, give happily to God and others, believe in Jesus as God’s son, and remember Jesus’ life and teachings.  While we are learning, we will also be preparing for the children to come the following week.  God calls us to shake up our lives and follow Him!  Come learn with us how to carry out God’s recipe.

Please join us for another fantastic Vacation Bible School during the week of May 31- June 4.

The VBS theme this year will be

Camp E.D.G.E

(Experience & Discover God Everywhere.)

Join us for great fellowship, crafts, Bible stories, a mission project, music, and a light supper.
