On Saturday, August 14, from 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., the Sierra Madre United Methodist Church will be having a one-day Vacation Bible School for children, teens and adults. Amber-Poteete-Marshall, Director of Christian Education, will take youngsters on a “Galactic Blast” adventure, combining faith and fun in a series of Bible lessons, crafts and lively praise music.
In addition to gaining a new perspective on the wonders of creation, children will learn the importance of being good stewards of the earth’s resources, and the importance of developing a personal relationship with God.
Adults are invited to attend morning and afternoon Bible Study, and praise and worship sessions, led by Rev. George R. Crisp, pastor of the SMUMC.
Lunch, provided by Adult and Family Ministries, will be served at 11:30, at a cost of $5.00 per person. There is no additional charge to attend the Vacation Bible School, which is free and open to all.
The Sierra Madre UMC is located at 695 W. Sierra Madre Blvd. in Sierra Madre, on the northeast corner of Michillinda and Sierra Madre Blvd. Sunday morning worship services are at 9:30 a.m., with an open Communion on the first Sunday of the month.
