🩵🌿 Rainforest Falls VBS 2026 – What an Incredible Week! 🌿🩵

What an amazing week we shared together at Rainforest Falls VBS! Our churches were filled with laughter, worship, creativity, learning, and the joyful energy of children discovering God’s love. 💙

Throughout the week, kids explored how God is our Creator, God knows everything, God is our safe place, and God is love through Bible stories, music, games, crafts, science, snacks, and new friendships. 📖🎵🎨 Watching so many smiling faces grow in faith while having so much fun was a true blessing.

This week would not have been possible without the incredible support of our church family. We are deeply grateful to every volunteer who gave their time, every person who donated supplies or financial gifts (those who ordered from our Amazon wishlist!!), those who decorated, prepared crafts, served snacks, taught the music, led stations, prayed, cleaned up, registered children, directed traffic, and quietly helped behind the scenes. 🤝 Every act of generosity made a difference.

It truly takes a village to create a week like this, and we are so thankful for everyone who answered God’s call to serve. Your kindness, dedication, and willingness to give made a lasting impact on the lives of these children. 🌱

Thank you to all four of our church congregations for your prayers, encouragement, generosity, and support. Together, we planted seeds of faith that will continue to grow long after VBS has ended. ✨

To God be the glory for an unforgettable week at Rainforest Falls VBS! 🙌

💚 Thank you for helping us share God’s overflowing love with the next generation. We can’t wait for next year!

Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a life-long adventure, discovering the nature of God, and exploring what it means to be rooted in relations...

Due to unforeseen circumstances, our second VBS planning meeting has been postponed.

We’ll be decorating Friday at 10:00 AM, and we’d love any extra hands if you’re available!

Also, if you have any items on our Amazon Wish List that we could borrow—or would like to purchase an item—we’d really appreciate it.
