Vacation Bible School 2023:
Dreams & Schemes--The Joseph Stories
'Dreams & Schemes' is a FREE VBS from June 19 - June 22, 9:00 - 11:30 a.m. at St James Lutheran Church and is open to kids who are 4 years old (potty trained) through 5th grade.
This summer's Vacation Bible School is focused on the fascinating character of Joseph. Maybe you've heard about him? For one thing, the great Broadway musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" is all about him! Joseph has big dreams, then survives a murder plot at the hands of his brothers, makes it to Egypt (although as a slave), is falsely accused by his master's wife, goes to prison, and finally--after more dreams!--becomes the second most powerful leader in a rich and powerful nation. His big dreams finally come true and he is even reunited with his brothers and family.
Great stories! And great fun too. During VBS we will be retelling the stories through drama and gifted storytelling, age-appropriate small groups, crafts, snacks, and singing.
Dreams and Schemes is a joint VBS effort of three churches: St James Lutheran Church, First Baptist Church of Greater Des Moines, and St Paul Presbyterian Church. The host this summer is St James, located at 5665 Merle Hay Road in Johnston.
Find us on Facebook for updates and details. We can't wait to see you this summer! Registration is upcoming.
