The theme of this years VBS is "Beyond Imagination" based on Ephesians 3:20 "He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think."

A light meal will be served to the children the first three days (i.e. pizza, sandwiches, fruit cups, etc.)

Our VBS is designed for ages K - 6th grade, but older kids and adults love it too. Children younger than 5 need to be accompanied by an adult. EVERYONE IS WELCOME, including family and friends.

We are thrilled that Glenda and Mike Mann will lead our VBS again this year!

2009 Vacation Bible School


St. Matthew's Evangelical held its 2009 Vacation Bible School Monday June 29 through Thursday July 2, 2009.

Mike and Glenda Mann led our VBS for the 4th year. This year's theme was "God's Detectives: Inside Information!" We had very good attendance that included children that regularly attend our church, other children from the surrounding neighborhood, and those that are relatives and friends of church members.

Each day, Glenda and Mike Mann taught biblical principals and presented the gospel through storytelling, illusions (by Glenda), ventriloquism (by Mike), puppets and lively original music. Everyone enjoyed the funny puppets (monkey, dog, ostrich and boy)and the illusions that magically produced a rabbit, white doves, etc. The children took home some awesome balloon animals made by Glenda.

A light meal was served the first three days and the children made some simple crafts. We had a balloon release on the third day. The balloons bore messages of God's love from St. Matthew's VBS. At the closing program on the last day, the children performed songs that they had learned, and Glenda performed some special illusions. The closing was attended by parents, grandparents, church members and friends, and each child received a box of fun things to take home.
