Last summer, the middle school youth and several adults from First Presbyterian Church helped conduct the annual Schuyler Vacation Bible School. The youth and adults have elected to return this year and participate again because the experience was so great. We need your help though!

This is a mission trip that began years ago when I took a group of youth from Lincoln to Schuyler one summer in the late 90’s, and we were asked to come back up the following year. Back then we had a few youth from the community come and the ratio of volunteers to VBS children was about 1:1. The VBS has steadily grown year after year, with attendance often hovering between 100 to 130 children per day. We also invite the children to a swim night, and show a movie for them at the movie theater. The weeks is a highlight of the year for many of the youth.

As you can guess, we need help to pull off an endeavor like this, and the ministry has changed a bit over the years.Multiple churches now are needed to make this work. Last year we had four churches from Lincoln and Omaha participate! The ministry is now a multi-generational ministry, people of all ages are invited and encouraged to join us for the week, or even just a day.

The vacation Bible School is from Sunday June 23rd to Thursday June 27th this year and we would love to have you come up and be a part of this vital ministry for the youth of Schuyler. Year after year the youth of Schuyler eagerly wait for us to return and bring the word of God to them. It is a privilege and honor to do so, will you help?
If you would like more information please talk to me and I would be thrilled to tell you more!

In Him,
Pastor Jon
