All Aboard the Rocky Railway!

We are excited you are part of First Presbyterian Virtual VBS!

 

Each morning, June 29-July 3 at 9:00 AM, a new video will be posted below.

Watch for GodSigns! These are things that remind you that God is active in your life. When you see those during the week, write each one on a sticky note and at some point during the week, bring those and stick to the door of King Hall (parking lot side). We will take pictures of these daily to share with the church family. We look forward to seeing and hearing about God’s power in YOU!

Inside the suitcase are individual bags for Imagination Station/Crafts. Each day you will find a bag of contents that will be needed to complete the project shown on the video. (If you missed the original registration window but would still like to order supplies to fully participate, you can do so here: The VBS Box - Rocky Railway VBS-At-Home Student Box - Elementary)

During Bible Point you will need to gather a few items to participate in the lessons from around the house.

Day 1: 2-3 Canned Goods or Boxes (The children will build a tower with these.)
Day 2: Pot Lid and Spatula
Day 3: Marker and Paper or Crayon
Day 4: Sponge/Wash Cloth
