Summer is here and what better time is there for an adventure! Join us for True North Vacation Bible School at St. John.

Guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!

When: June 24-27, 9:00 to 11:30 am, with singing at our 9:00 am Sunday service on June 29.

Where do I sign up? Please follow this link.  (Note: If your child is going into 7th grade or above, and they would like to help out instead of being a student, please sign them up as a volunteer.)
