Newtown Christian Church

Vacation Bible School

Newtown Christian Church is offering a vacation bible school themed God’s Big Backyard the week of July 28 through August 2, open to K–sixth grade students. The free classes will be conducted from 6 to 8:30 pm.

God’s Big Backyard begins each session at Backyard Bash with large-group music, a skit, and fun, where participants will be introduced to a Bible story and life focus. At the end of the evening, they will gather back to the Backyard Bash to review, to be encouraged, and to be motivated to serve others.

Other activities include Backyard Club, where kids will explore the Bible story in a variety of interactive ways and apply the story by completing the “It’s Your Serve” service challenges; Backyard Food & Fun, movement and snacks; Clothesline Creations, creating crafts that are service- and lesson-oriented; and Community Corner, where students will hear stories about community servants and get motivated to be involved in community projects. All of these activities connect to the Bible story, Bible memory, and the life focus of serving.

Stanley, Alex, Cooper the dog, and Nick the squirrel are waiting for some backyard buddies to join them in serving and having a blast. Newtown Christian Church is at 210 Sugar Street. For more information or to register, call 426-6189.
