VBS 2026: Junkyard Redemption Was an Incredible Week!

What an amazing week of VBS!

Over five nights, 63 children gathered to discover the story of God's redemption—from creation to the new heaven and new earth—through worship, games, crafts, STEM challenges, Bible teaching, and small-group conversations.

One of the greatest blessings of the week was watching relationships form across generations. Children (and volunteers) learned, laughed, created, and grew together while experiencing the love of Christ in tangible ways.

We are especially grateful for our incredible team of 36 volunteers who gave their time, energy, creativity, and hearts to make the week possible. From decorating and registration to teaching, crafts, games, snacks, worship, security, and clean-up, every role mattered. The vision for VBS may begin with an idea, but it comes to life through faithful volunteers who serve with joy and dedication.

A special word of appreciation goes to our outstanding youth leaders. Throughout the week, they modeled servant leadership, built meaningful connections with younger children, and demonstrated what it looks like to follow Jesus through action and example. They were truly one of the highlights of the week.

Together, our VBS families also raised more than $950 for Open Arms Care Center! This year, those funds will help provide custom beach towels for the residents, offering both a practical gift and a reminder that they are loved and valued by our community.

Thank you to every volunteer, family, donor, and prayer partner who helped make Junkyard Redemption such a meaningful week. 

To God be the glory!
