Early last month, the children of Saint Mark’s participated in a week-long Vacation Bible School program called ReNew-The Green VBS.
This program, an environmentally-focused vacation bible school curriculum, inspired both kids and adults to grow in faith, have fun, and change the world as they learned to practice stewardship of God’s creation. In short, it was a blast!
Children participated in three age groups: Preschool, Lower Elementary, and Upper Elementary. Preschoolers had their own activity site where they learned the Parable of the Sower and explored creation through free play and other activities.
Lower and Upper Elementary groups also learned the Parable of the Sower and alternated between various activities highlighting what each person can do to grow in faith and care for creation.
Planned activities enabled participants to encounter the part of creation we call community and helped the children recognize God at work in our relationships with one another.
