The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
Zephaniah 3:17 NIV

2026 VBS Illumination Station
2026 VBS Illumination Station | July 13-17, 8:45am-12pm
Calling all volunteers to lead kids in answering the question Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Through games, crafts, music, snacks and Bible stories, kids will discover that Jesus is the light of the world!
Come share your gifts at VBS this summer! Open volunteer roles include leaders for Crafts, Snacks, Worship and Games. Teen Leaders (rising 7th graders-12th graders) are all invited to be youth leaders and make VBS a wonderful experience for every child that attends.
We love adult and teen volunteers who love to point kids to Jesus! If you are available to serve, sign up at gracewaylife.org/vbs
Registration is still open for kids entering Kindergarten thru 6th grade in the Fall, but spaces are filling up quickly. The preschool class is full. Thank you!
