The following is information from our past 2024 Vacation Bible School.
 
We will share more about VBS 2025 this fall!
 
We are partnering with Camp Onomia this summer for Vacation Bible School 2024. Camp Onomia is a member of Lutheran Outdoor Ministries, an ELCA camping organization. They will send camp counselors to Gloria Dei for the week to provide programming.
 
Partnering with the Camp Onomia will allow our youth and adult volunteers to be focused on relationship building and less on logistics! It also allows us to offer all day programming for elementary students.

2024 Theme: Created to Be from Lutheran Outdoor Ministries 

Theme Verse: “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well.”  —Psalm 139:14

We are loved and accepted by God even before we enter this world. Even when we feel alone and unseen, God sees us and knows us, never leaving our side. During the week we will explore more deeply the authentic selves God has created us to be. We will learn what it means to be siblings in Christ—humans who are brave enough to encourage and stand up for each other, sharing burdens as well as joys.
