One of the great joys of late winter and early spring is imagining summer. Join us in our joy as we imagine VBS 2023.

An education team from SUMC, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, and St. Matthews AME Zion Church met and made some key decisions toward providing a free community VBS again this year.

Theme: “Changemakers Lab,” which uses examples from New Testament scripture to help kids learn to ask questions, trust Jesus, and work together to serve people and solve problems. “Changemakers” includes a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) presence.

When & Who: August 7 – 11, 6:00 to 8:30 pm, Sewickley UMC campus
For kids entering Kindergarten through 5th grade, with both Pre-K and middle school options as a possibility.

Registration: Opportunities will become available in May.

Next meeting: March 12, at 12:15 pm in the Simpson Room.

To grow children as “changemakers,” we need to assemble a team of youth and adults who want to be changemakers for our children. We’re looking for volunteers to invest in the imagining, preparation, and presentation of our Changemakers Lab. Here’s a link to a form for anyone interested in volunteering.

All are invited to the planning meeting in March. Attendance is not a commitment to participation, and it is not a requirement. For more information, contact Grace Rogansky, Pamela Mayo, Bill Utterback, or Pastor Hannah.
