Discover the Bigness of God in the Smallest of Things at VBS

Monday, June 23 through Friday, June 27
Mon-Thurs: 9am-Noon; Fri: 9am-1pm

Registration is now open for Vacation Bible School at Monaca UMC! This year’s theme is Magnified!

VBS will take place June 23—June 27, 9am-Noon each day, with a wrap-up party for the participants and their families from Noon to 1pm on Friday, June 27.

Our anchoring Scripture verse this year is Psalm 34:3:

Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Each day of VBS, kids will look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify (proclaim) the greatness of God through music, lessons, games, and crafts. Fun and free for children, youth, and teens entering K-12 grade levels!

Please reach out to us at kids@monacachurch.org or (724) 775-6702 with any questions or comments. Or use the button below to register now.

Together, let’s magnify the Creator of all things big and small!
