A Hint of What to Come

Aloha to the Hawaiian Island – The Outrigger Island, where the kids will KNOW, SPEAK, AND LIVE GOD’S UNSHAKEABLE TRUTH IN A SPIRITUAL FUN-TIME ADVENTURE through serious Bible study with encouraging real-life applications, inter-active games, worship, missions, and craft.

For 5 days, each VBS Day starts with a Worship Rally, followed by the Opening Bible Study of 40 minutes. Then by class, the kids (called wave rider) will travel (island-hop) to all the sites – Music Falls, Craft Cabana, Recreation Reef, Snack Shack and Missions Lookout, at assigned times. All will return to their respective classes for the Closing Bible study. Every VBS Day ends with a closing Worship Rally. Family Day will be on Saturday, November 29. On Sunday, all unchurched kids will be invited to Sunday school

The wave riders will learn to stand on the truths that:
God is real – God Spoke to Moses
Jesus is God’s Son - Jesus
Jesus is the only Way - Jesus’ Death, Burial, and Resurrection
The Bible is God’s Word – Jeremiah and Baruch
Their actions show what they truly believe – The Good Samaritan
