Rainforest Falls VBS: Exploring the Nature of God Grace United Methodist Church is alive with excitement as kids climb into Rainforest Falls, a hands‑on adventure where they explore the nature of God through interactive learning and fun. Each evening blends science experiments, games, music, and themed treats to help faith take root in everyday life. A Journey Through the Rainforest Students join age‑based Crews-- Tree Frogs, Toucans, Ocelots, and Gorillas, and start each night with a high‑energy Opening Assembly. From there, they head into Rooted Bible Adventures, where engaging lessons highlight the nightly Bible Point. Kids also meet a new Bible Buddy and learn a memory verse to carry home. 
Faith in Action Throughout the week, children participate in Operation Kid‑to‑Kid™, helping provide fruit trees to families in Central America. It’s a simple way for kids to see how their faith can make a difference. |
Our Vacation Bible School is FREE, thanks to the generosity of members and friends at Grace. Be sure to mark your child's T-shirt size on the Registration Form, (online or in person) as all orders need to be in by May 22nd. |
