Here’s what happened at our “Seekers in Sneakers” vacation Bible school in August.
The Children’s Ministry team would like to thank everyone who has helped us engage with the children through the summer.
As we draw closer to our Vacation Bible School week in August, the “Seekers in Sneakers” team has added some new items to our wish list. Here are a few things we would like to borrow from church family.
All the children are invited to join us Sunday (July 14) on the SUMC lawn at 10:00 am (between services) for a pre-VBS party.
Look for Vacation Bible School registration info in early May. Online registration is available on the SUMC website.
Consider this an invitation to a planning meeting and a prayer initiative. The SUMC VBS team is holding its next planning meeting in the Simpson Room on April 21, shortly after the 11:00 am worship service ends. If you have committed to the project, or are wondering if there is a place for you, please join us.
Our free Community Vacation Bible School, for students pre-school through middle school, will be offered from 6:00 to 8:00 pm, August 5 through 8, on the SUMC campus.
Maya and I didn’t want Vacation Bible School to end. “Why can’t we come back on Friday?” she asked multiple times. I wanted one more opportunity to talk with all of the children.
Words of thanks from our members.
We just wrapped up a wonderful week of VBS. We taught many kids, preschool aged through middle school, how to be disciples of Jesus Christ by being a Changemaker! Thank you to all who volunteered to bring this important message to life.
To help create our science-based VBS theme this year, we are in need of the following decorating supplies.
On Thursday evenings, starting July 6th, we will be meeting in the basement to create the decorations that will transform the spaces for our upcoming Vacation Bible School kids.
We’re looking for changemakers—people who like to help others, improve the world, and think with their hearts—to attend our 2023 Community Vacation Bible School, sponsored jointly by Sewickley United Methodist, St. Matthews AME Zion, and St. Paul's Lutheran churches.
Anyone interested in helping create a plan for VBS decorations this year is invited to a meeting at Sewickley UMC on Thursday, June 8, at 7:00 pm, in the Simpson Room.
The young people in the Fellowship of the Cross, anticipating Vacation Bible School, posted that question on a bulletin board in the Simpson Room. The responses they’ve found pinned to the board are inspiring.
One of the great joys of late winter and early spring is imagining summer. Join us in our joy as we imagine VBS 2023.
Isn’t January the best time to imagine summer? Everyone with imagination is invited to join the SUMC Education Committee for our first 2023 VBS meeting on January 29.
A large thank you to all who participated, volunteered, decorated, and/or supported Vacation Bible School!
We are having one combined worship service on July 31st at 11 am, followed by a time of lunch & fellowship, as we celebrate the start of the Sewickley Community Vacation Bible School.
