Greetings family and friends in Christ! 

This year our congregation made the difficult decision to not hold our Vacation Bible School in person. In the midst of our summer programming with Sunday Morning opportunities and resources, we are excited to announce an opportunity to participate in a VBS from your own home with very simple at home materials! 

Trinity Lutheran Church, an urban congregation nestled in the Bronx, NY has been on a mission since 1913 to bring Jesus to the city. Vacation Bible School is a part of this charge! This year, we have the opportunity to participate with them in their VBS online. So mark your calendar for this upcoming week to jump in the RACE with our friends in Christ at Trinity. 

How will this work? 

  • First, check out the VBS page at Trinity that gives an overview of the week. 
  • For your home, do some minimal prep by getting ready with your supplies as listed on the Supply List HERE.
  • With your family, our church family and Trinity tune into the daily videos on the VBS page. The videos will be posted Monday-Friday at 8:30 a.m. (CT) NOTE that the times on the website are in the Eastern Time Zone. 
  • If you would like, as a family you may also join in on their worship Sunday at 9:30am on both the 21st (will include a little introduction to VBS music and theme) and the 28th (will include a closing service “VBS celebration”).

Every year in our VBS we are happy to come together to LEARN more about God’s good gifts for us and SHARE some of these gifts with others by raising money for different missions and ministry opportunities. This year we are encouraging all who attend to give to Trinity-Bronx to support their many ministries and missions in the city of New York. HERE is a link where you can do just that!

What a blessing to partner with another church across the country to RUN THE RACE together! We pray that this week is a refreshing time for your family to join in God’s good word and celebrate the church rooted in Christ alone.

Sincerely,
Your Chapel of the Cross VBS Leadership Team
