We are at T minus one week before Stellar VBS launches at MVPC, June 5-9, 2023! How cool is it that the same God who created mountains and oceans and galaxies looked at you and thought the world needed one of you, too?! This summer at Stellar VBS, we will help kids discover that light inside of them and what it means to shine it brightly! Each day from 9am to Noon, at one of Lamorinda’s largest Vacation Bible Schools, kids will explore how Jesus shined hope, love, forgiveness, and joy to the world – and how all of us can do the same with His power! Every day after zipping in, we’ll launch into skits & music, crafts, snacks, and rec. We’ll have a blast in small groups with our daily lesson and activities to reinforce the day’s Bible message, plenty of discussion time, and a chance to shine bright while building friendships with kids the same age from schools across Lamorinda and even outside our area. As always, it will be an out-of-this-world adventure and by week’s end, harnessing the power of Jesus’ love, we’ll have made new friends, strengthened old friendships, and be shining our lights as bright as the Son!
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
– Matthew 5:16b
Our intergalactic adventure is blessed to have many Space Rangers to lead us to infinity and beyond. We are fully staffed with small group leaders in PreK thru 5th grade, Hospitality, Crafts, Prayer Team, Kids’ Snacks, Recreation, Tech Team, Photography/Social Media, Puppet Team, and Spirit Squad! Praise God! Each summer, 150+ volunteers share their faith and talents with one another and our wonderful kids! We prayed, God answered, and we are over the moon!
From June 5-9, each one of our Space Rangers will experience the joy of helping children grow in their faith. At Stellar VBS, no activity is a black hole – instead of leading independent, isolated small groups – we’ve created an integrated, Bible-based program that provides kids a unique, total VBS experience that is interactive, safe, fun, faith-filled, life-giving, and light-years beyond other summer camps! We can’t wait to shine His light!.
