FIESTA VBS

is going on

 

at FUMC

 

We will not be having VBS on Wednesday, July 24 due to RAGBRAI.  VBS is starting each night at 5:30 with a meal served in West Fellowship Hall and will continue from 6:00 to 8:15 with Bible stories, games, and crafts.  Please invite your kids, grandkids, neighbors and friends to come join this fun event where kids get to know Jesus. 

 

The mission project for VBS this year is “Imagine No Malaria”. Kids will learn how malaria affects lives every day and how we can help prevent it from spreading.  Every 30 seconds, an innocent child in Africa dies of malaria.  A loving daughter, a future doctor, a beloved grandson, a best friend – malaria takes more than 1 million lives each year.  Malaria is preventable, treatable, and beatable.  Making a gift of just $10 will buy a net to protect an entire family in Africa with 100% of contributions to this ministry going to the fight against malaria.  If you would like to donate please indicate “imagine no malaria” in the memo of your check or on a love envelope. 

We will also be having some special theme nights as are listed below:

o        Sunday – "Jesus is our friend!"                                     Come as you are to the FIESTA -
