EVEREST Vacation Bible School 2015

Welcome to Everest VBS: Conquering Challenges With God's Mighty Power
Each day, kids participate in small groups, called Climbing Crews, and discover practical ways to hold on to God’s mighty power! Not only will they experience exciting Bible adventures but they’ll also watch for God in everyday life through something called God Sightings™. You and your kids will discover that God is active in our lives and that his fingerprints are everywhere!
Everest is filled with epic Bible-learning experiences kids will see, hear, touch, and even taste! KidVid Cinema shares real stories of real kids who rely on God’s power to face life’s challenges! Plus, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats keep everyone on the move.

Mission at VBS
Due to the recent earthquake at MT. EVEREST, the area is in need of our help. Partnering with Presbyterian Disaster Relief, we will send funds to help the most needy of the area.An offering basket will be on the registration table for donations. The kids will also make cards to send to Nepal.
Also, we will fill back to school backpacks for Friends of the Children which is a professional non-profit mentoring program for K-12th graders who are identified as the most as risk students by King County schools.
