Vacation Bible School
July 22-26, 2013
6:00 pm to 8:30 pm
Kids ages kindergarten through sixth grade – join us this summer for a great week of Vacation Bible School. Our theme is the Armor of God!  You’ll learn how to stand strong by wearing God’s armor. Each day you’ll learn how to put on a new piece of armor and become a mighty warrior in God’s Kingdom. 

VBS week includes great music, theatrical productions, crafts, games and snacks. Additional information will be available soon. If you have any questions, please contact Kimmels Church by calling 570-943-2769 or send an email message to admin@kimmelschurch.org.
