Vacation Bible School is a big event in the lives of the children in Lawrence each summer.
Children from kindergarten to 6th grade enjoy this week long, value-centered program with a nourishing meal.
Most years as many as 10 churches have hosted programs, impacting the lives of over 1,000 children and hundreds of teen and adult volunteers each summer.
Since 1975, the children of Lawrence have been participating in Vacation Bible School sponsored by Communities Together.
Children enjoy plunging into action-packed activities and faith-filled adventures as they learn more about how the Bible relates to their lives.
They enjoy music, drama, STEM projects, crafts and most importantly fun throughout the week.
Communities Together provides all the curriculum materials for children and teachers, crafts and a banner that each church displays ahead of time, announcing their VBS schedule.
Each church pays a small fee for hosting VBS, based on the number of children that the participates in the program.
