Are your kids ready to grow in faith, have fun, and change the world?
Please join us for Saint Mark’s Children’s Ministry VBS this summer. This year’s program is ReNew-The Green VBS — an environmentally-focused vacation bible school that will inspire both kids and adults to grow in faith, have fun, and change the world as they practice stewardship of God’s creation. It’s gonna be a great “green” summer!
Children can participate in three age groups: Preschool, Lower Elementary, and Upper Elementary.
Preschoolers will have their own activity site where they will learn the Parable of the Sower and explore creation through free play and activities oriented around the self and the community.
Lower and Upper Elementary will alternate between various activities highlighting what each person can do to grow in faith and care for creation. Planned activities enable participants to encounter the part of creation we call community and recognize God at work in our relationships with one another.
ReNew is about hope, opportunity, and service. Kids and congregations lead the way as stewards of the earth.
A light supper will be provided before classes.
Register your children and grandchildren for the 2010 ReNew Vacation Bible School at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church today! All children between the ages of 3 and 14 are invited to grow in faith as they play, learn, sing, and work to RENEW our congregation and community.
DATES: Mon., August 9 – Fri., August 13
TIME: 5:30pm – 8:30pm

"Well, the last few Sundays we have been moving through Paul’s letter to the Galatian churches, and we continue today in that letter. Joyfully, we come to the portion to which the writer has been leading us toward. There are many, many rich passages and phrases in this particular portion of scripture that we have heard today, but especially this one where Paul writes to the Galatians, ‘Live by the Spirit, but do not gratify the desires of the flesh, for the Spirit and the flesh are opposed to each other to prevent you from doing what you want…’" 
“We continue this week with Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Paul is drawing conclusions about the law and a strong faith in the redemptive power of Jesus on the cross. Now we know the law is that portion of the first five books of our Old Testament that provide the do’s and the don’ts to God’s chosen people…” —
