Providing Hope to a Fearful Generation

In a world filled with worry and confusion, kids need to know there is a God who cares for them. At Emerald Crossing VBS, they’ll journey through Ireland’s lush landscapes, exploring the powerful words of Psalm 23. They’ll discover the life of the shepherd-king David and will learn how to cross from worry to peace, from fear to faith, and from uncertainty to a firm foundation in God’s Word through a relationship with the Good Shepherd.

Get your passport ready for Ireland and join the adventure!

Adult Vacation Bible School at Bethel

In a time when evil no longer seems to be hiding in the shadows, where wickedness is celebrated and Satan continually unmasked, the Christian must be prepared for increasingly difficult spiritual battles. Part of our training is learning how to pray, effectively, unceasingly, and earnestly. This year adult VBS will focus on “Lessons @ Prayer.” We will discuss spiritual warfare, intercession, becoming a “prayer warrior,” speaking in tongues and numerous methods and approaches to Christian prayer.

Plus, we will enjoy all the normal VBS stuff— fun music, great snacks and challenging crafts. We begin each night at 6:15 and finish at 8:30, which allows you to drop off your kids and have plenty of time to pick them up afterwards. We meet upstairs in room 239 [old youth room]. Childcare is provided.

It is time to prepare for spiritual battle. It is time to learn to pray. Join Us!

Monetary donations will be going to support the mission trip to south Texas.

The physical items for this year will be diapers and wipes that will go to support Brenham/Brayn pregnancy center.
