VBS set at First United Methodist

First United Methodist Church will have vacation Bible school Aug. 15-18 for children ages 3 through grade 6. VBS will begin with a meal at 5:15 p.m. followed by the VBS program, Faith Heroes II, from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m. There is no charge for children to attend, however, preregistration is appreciated. Contact the church office at 952-3718 for registration information. First UMC is located downtown between the Jamestown Middle School and the Alfred Dickey Library.

Last summer, in Faith Heroes I, children learned that faith heroes are strong, brave, loving and loyal. They learned about these faith heroes: Joseph, who was strong enough to forgive; David, who was brave enough to face a bully; Ruth, who loved God by loving people; and Daniel, who was loyal to God no matter what happened. And children learned that they can be faith heroes, too.

This summer, in Faith Heroes II, children will learn that faith heroes do not have to be perfect for God to use them. Moses will tell how God used him even though he was not a good speaker. Samson will tell how God used him even though he was a showoff. Samuel will tell participants how God used him even though he was young. Esther will tell participants how God used her even though she was timid and afraid. And they will learn that God can use them through mission offerings that will be taken for Heifer Project International.
