Matthew 28:19-20 - "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."

Behold, the threefold Name of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are baptized into this Name. We have been made a part of God's family. Now, we are called to live in harmony with our new family, to be godly and live in God's image. As God is loving, kind and generous, so are we all called to be.

Tropical Trek VBS 2026
St. John's Lutheran Church's Vacation Bible School will be held Monday through Friday, June 15-19th from 9am to 11:30am at St. John's Lutheran School in Buckley. Children will learn Bible stories, memorize Bible verses, play games, do crafts, sing songs, and enjoy delicious snacks. Ages 3 through 5h grade are welcome to attend!

Our world is filled with exciting things to explore and enjoy. But there are also challenges and hardships we face along the way. Our loving and powerful God desires to help us. He seeks us out and leads us to faith. We can trust in Him! At Tropical Trek, kids will learn how Jesus seeks them and all people. He is the Son of Man, who came to seek and to save the lost!

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE A VBS A SUCCESS!

We still need volunteers to serve snacks, lead groups, teach, or lead crafts or games. We are also in need of donations for craft and snack supplies. Please contact Rebekah Sanders for a list of specific items. You can also sign up to help via the registration link. If you are interested in making a monetary donation to offset the cost of supplies, please contact the church office. Thank you for your support!
