The dates have been set for this year’s VBS: July 9-13, from 9am-12pm.

Our theme this year is “Operation Overboard—Dare to Go Deep with God!” Our scripture focus is Hebrews 11:1: Faith is the reality of what we hope for, the proof of what we don’t see.

This year’s VBS is both an invitation and a challenge to dive into the waters of God’s Word and discover what it means to have deep faith. As kids journey father down towards the ocean floor, Bible stories introduce people from the Old Testament and New Testament who show deep faith by depending on God, daring to care, claiming Jesus, choosing to follow, and changing the world.

Registration is open to children age four (by September 1) through grade 5 complete. Please register your child by the grade he or she just completed. Each family will receive a CD of the Operation Overboard music while supplies last.

To volunteer or for more information, contact
Kim English (children@fumcwf.org or 940-766-4231, x272).

(Seekers of MORE reporting) The 5th-8th graders went to Fright Fest at Six Flags on October 10, 2011.  We rode many rides and played many games.  Below is a drawing we made inspired by the cool rollercoasters there.
