A few years ago, one of my favorite songs played as I entered Lifeway Christan Store: “Yes to VBS.” Vacation Bible School signs are showing up in front of every church across the Alamo City, and it’s time to SAY YES! Vacation Bible School offers children a chance to immerse themselves in a week-long camp with a Biblical theme. Crafts, games, songs, and fun are common threads in VBS programs.
While we’ve made every effort to keep this list updated and current, please check directly with the church to confirm times, dates, and details.
