VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL 2008:

Vacation Bible School at St. Peter's usually takes place in early June, but the preparation begins in early spring. Around March, we start recruiting volunteers to help. As a local outreach, we minister to children in the community who may otherwise have no exposure to God or Christ-centered learning. During VBS, the children sing, play, and learn valuable Bible lessons. They also learn about outreach as they work on a mission project.

This year, we are sending GO (Gospel Outreach) Balls to underprivilieged children.  The special GO balls come with color-coded panels and a Gospel Guide, to teach the Gospel in a memorable way to children who might not otherwise know Christ. We raised enough money to send 50 GO Balls!

Missions

The missions team has been quite active in recent years sponsoring short term missions to Bolivia (Hospitals of Hope), Honduras (South American Missionary Society), Peru and Brazil (Happening). In addition, there has been an annual trip for teenagers and youth leaders to Reach Work Camp sites around the northeastern United States. Last year, we sent a team to Niagara Falls, NY to help the less fortunate make repairs to their homes. In July 2008, we sent a team to Oceana, WV .  This year we will be going to Hurricane, WV, July 19-25, 2009.
