VBS at Gethsemane
July 28-August 1, 2025
This summer at VBS, we’ll be celebrating the joy and love of God through the theme:
God’s love for us is a reason to celebrate!
Throughout the week, kids will explore five stories of celebration that help them understand who God is and what God has done. Inspired by Jesus’ image of God’s kingdom as a great feast for all people, we’ll connect these stories to meaningful acts of worship—like giving thanks, praising God, and showing love to others. While there will be plenty of party fun, the deeper message is that celebrating God is more than a moment—it’s a way we live out our faith.
