While we may no longer be on a rainforest adventure together, we're still sharing God's Love!

Join us this Saturday for our annual 🍬Trunk or Treat🍬, right in our parking lot!

We will also be holding Operation PB&J Saturday morning. It is a great way to give back to our community! Details are available on our website: https://www.firsttrinity.com/events/

We hope to see you this weekend!

Mark your calendars! First Trinity will host its annual “Trunk or Treat” on Saturday, October 24, from 2 – 4 p.m. All are welcome!

We are looking back at the fun we had at 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺 last week!

⭐️Yesterday we dropped off our donations from our Operation Kid-to-Kid service project! For the past two years, we’ve supported our friends at the Sheridan Parkside Life Center by helping stock their food pantry and clothing closet.

🌟 This year we helped stock their laundromat by collecting:

🫧 laundry detergent
✨ dryer sheets
🫧fabric softener
✨ stain removal products

⭐️ Donations were collected in the lobby throughout the entire week of 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺. Many thanks to those who participated!

❤️ Our main Bible point this year was God is Love. As we know about God’s love for us, we also look for ways to show love to others, and this is one simple way we can care for our neighbors.

We are looking back at the fun we had at 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺 last week!

⭐️Today we are taking a look at our Operation Kid-to-Kid service project! Each year during Vacation Bible School, we take time to serve our community in a simple, hands-on way, and this year was no different.

🌟 Operation Kid-to-Kid is one of the world’s largest service mission projects for children. Year after year, Operation Kid-to-Kid is one of the driving forces in mobilizing children to serve other kids in need.

⭐️ For the past two years, we’ve supported our friends at the Sheridan Parkside Life Center by helping stock their food pantry and clothing closet.
They also serve the community through computer and cooking classes and even offer a free laundromat for neighbors in need.

This year, we helped keep that laundromat running by collecting:

🫧 laundry detergent
✨ dryer sheets
🫧fabric softener
✨ stain removal products

🌟 Donations were collected in the lobby throughout the entire week of 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺. Many thanks to those who participated, and to Beth for setting up our drop area!

It was a fantastic week at 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺!

In the days leading up to 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺, we shared old VBS memories and Bible Buddies from each year. Today is no different, and since it's Saturday, today is our last set of Bible Buddies - from 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺!

And since our clues for our scavenger hunt were given on Saturdays, it is time to reveal what you were looking for!

As so many of you guessed, it was our very own 👟Games👟 Station Leader, Josh! Josh has been coming to VBS since he was a kid, making him the perfect person to hide throughout our daily posts. Go ahead and check; he is in every single one of our countdown posts (except for our Saturday ones!). Thank you Josh for being included in our posts!

📸 Pictures from Thursday and Friday will be uploaded to our First Trinity Lutheran Church page soon, and will be shared here, so be sure to check back (likely on Monday).

🧇 We will also be sharing memories from this year in the coming weeks, so keep tuned!

Thank you again for everyone who was a participant, a volunteer, or parent involved in 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺! We couldn't do it without you. Remember: God is Forever!

Today was a fantastical final Friday at 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺!

💥 We had a blast at 🏝️Sing and Play Lagoon🏝️, where we saw Dr. Flit Flutterby 🦋 learned that God's love is forever! We danced with our Song Leaders and Miss Sue, and met our final Bible Buddy, Howie the Howler Monkey 🦍!

🌴 We then headed to our stations: 📖Bible Adventures📖,🫟Sticky Scripture🫟, 👟Games👟, 💭Imagination Station💭, and 🍿Snack🍿 to continue our 🌺Rainforest Falls🌺 adventure before heading back to the sanctuary for 🪾Canopy Closing🪾!

⛪️ Today's Bible Point was ✨God is forever. Wow God! ✨

📖 Our verse was Psalm 115:18 "But we can praise the Lord both now and forever! Praise the Lord!" We learned that God's love is forever!

Thank you so much for everyone who made this week possible, from our VBS Director Mrs Tracy, Miss Sue, our Crew Leader Coaches, our Station Leaders, our Crew Leaders, our Snack and Tech teams, and everyone else who worked hard before, during, and after this week! We couldn't do it without you and appreciate your time, care, and dedication to our program.

📸 You'll be able to find photos from today on our First Trinity Lutheran Church page, and the post will be shared here as well once it is ready, so check back soon!

We can't wait to see you at our 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺 Reunion on Wednesday, August 26! We'll share more details here soon.

We have a few more posts to wrap up from our amazing week, so keep tuned! We hope you have a restful weekend and we will see you next year for 🧇Crave VBS🧇!

Today was a great Thursday at 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺!

💥 We had a blast at 🏝️Sing and Play Lagoon🏝️, where we saw Dr. Flit Flutterby 🦋 dressed as a bee 🐝! Or maybe he was trying to blend in as a butterfly 🦋? We danced with our Song Leaders and Miss Sue, and met our fourth Bible Buddy, Tia the Giant Anteater 🐜 (There's no anteater emoji, so an ant will have to do)!

🌴 We then headed to our stations: 📖Bible Adventures📖,🫟Sticky Scripture🫟, 👟Games👟, 💭Imagination Station💭, and 🍿Snack🍿 to continue our 🌺Rainforest Falls🌺 adventure before heading back to the sanctuary for 🪾Canopy Closing🪾!

⛪️ Today's Bible Point was ✨God is love. Wow God! ✨

📖 Our verse was Psalm 136:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever." We learned that God's love is forever!

👀 Be sure to Watch for God and come ready tomorrow morning with God Sightings! Participants (Elementary AND Preschool) can enter the sanctuary at 8:45 am and will need an adult with their barcode to check them in for attendance.

🫧 All week, you can bring in supplies for our Operation Kid-to-Kid. This year we are taking laundry supplies to help our friends at the Sheridan Parkside Life Center!

📸 You'll be able to find photos from today on our First Trinity Lutheran Church page, and the post will be shared here as well once it is ready, so check back soon!

We can't wait for another fantastic day at 🌺Rainforest Falls VBS🌺!
