The Brightest Week of the Year is Coming Soon!

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
For Kids Entering Grades K-12
Monday, June 15, 2026—Friday, June 19, 2026
9am-Noon
Wrap-up Party Friday, Noon to 1pm

You’re invited to Illumination Station, where we’ll be shining a light on who Jesus really is!

Registration is now open for Vacation Bible School at Monaca UMC!

While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history, a good man, or a wise teacher, but He is much more than that.

VBS will begin at 9am each day, Monday, June 15th through Friday, June 19th, with breakfast for all participants followed by worship, music, crafts, lessons, skits, and games.

Through these activities, kids will be challenged to answer Jesus’ important question to his disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” As they explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world.

Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” -John 8:12

Monaca UMC’s VBS is open to kids entering any grade level next fall, Kindergarten through 12th Grade.

Be sure to join us for a wrap-up party on Friday, June 19th from Noon to approximately 1pm! The party is open to additional family and friends as well!

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.*

Let’s shine a light on Jesus together!
