Vacation Bible School (VBS) has been a tradition at Cedar Park First United Methodist Church. We invite all children in entering grades 1 through 5th. In the past we have had two offerings. One is held in the summer, and another is held in the Christmas season.
Summer VBS
Our summer VBS is based on the theme Treasure Hunt. It is a 3-day session event that runs early June. For 2023, the event was from June 12th -14th 6pm to 8:15pm. Treasure Hunt invited the kids to Arise and Shine because the Light of God’s Love has come and is shining on them. Our mission is to guide the kids in search of the Infinite Lantern. Our Quest of God’s light is based on Isaiah 60:1 “Arise! Shine! Your light has come, the Lord’s glory has shone upon you.”
There are three interactive events which are based on the Theme of the day.
-
- The Creation Story from Genesis 1:1 – 2:9 – Love
- Moses and the Burning Bush – Exodus 3:1-20 –Trust
- Mary at the Tomb : John 20:1-18 – Hope
Each day contains three main stations; Bible Storyteller, Craft and Recreation. Each station has a rotation schedule by age group, if needed. In addition, the day is filled with music, snacks and fun to reflect the day’s session. Some pictures from our recent summer 2023 VBS are below.
