Bethany Lutheran Church, First UNITED METHODIST Church, Memorial United Methodist Church, and First Presbyterian Church, Invite Families to wilderness escape VBS (Vacation Bible School)

Lyons, Ne

A summer family event called “Wilderness Escape: Where God Guides and Provides” will be hosted at First Presbyterian Church from May 27th to May 30th. Families step back in time at Wilderness Escape, exploring some of the adventures faced by Moses and the Israelites. Kids and adults participate at the Israelite Camp, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, dig into Bible-times snacks, visit Moses, and collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God’s Word. Plus, everyone learns to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes at Celebration—a time of upbeat worship that gets everyone involved.

 

Kids and adults at Wilderness Escape VBS will join together to support the local food pantry.

 

Wilderness Escape will run from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM each day. For more information, call (after 5PM) or text (anytime) Shelly Richling at (402) 987-4203.VBS CommunityFlyer 20174

Kids 4 Christ Program

May 6, 2014 1 Comment


The Kids 4 Christ Program completed its last session on Wednesday, April 30th. In addition to learning about Jesus from the Bible, they sponsored two missionary events.

Children earned points for attendance and for saying memory verses. When they reached 500 points, they earned a special project and a party. The first project they earned was Sunday School materials for a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa. The second project was ducks and bees for families through the Heifer Project.

Throughout the school year, an average of 19 to 25 kids attended each week. They learned about: Creation, How Sin entered the World, Noah, Tower of Babel, Job and God’s Covenant with Abraham, Jacob & Esau, and Joseph.

Kids 4 Christ Program will start up again in the fall as an after school program on Wednesdays at the Lyons Memorial United Church.

In the mean time, the VBS (Vacation Bible School) Program will be held at the First Presbyterian Church. It begins at 6:30 P. M. on Tuesday, May 27th and ends on Friday May 30th at 8:30 P. M. Its focus will be learning about Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt through the Wilderness to Mt. Sinai.
