SCUBA - Diving into Friendship with God!
​ Vacation Bible School

Picture
St. Philip the Apostle Parish's 2024 Vacation Bible School was held during the week of June 10 to 12. The theme of this year’s Vacation Bible School was SCUBA - Diving into Friendship with God! Sixty-nine children and countless volunteers made this year’s VBS one to remember! The gym, hallways and classrooms were transformed by our creative volunteers into "FIN-tastic" ocean scenes. The children's adventures included prayer, games, crafts, dramatic re-enactments, snacks, songs, dancing, and an inflatable obstacle course.

A special thank you to Fran Amadeo for coordinating Vacation Bible School and pouring her one-of-a-kind dedication, vision, and heart into this ministry! A huge thank you to the whole Amadeo family for diving in and making this experience happen so wonderfully.

​Thank you to each and every super-volunteer who range from 4th grade to adults of all ages. You made waves, creating an unforgettable underwater adventure for our VBS participants who learned how much God is a friend to them and loves them always. Thanks, everyone! "Thanks, God!"
