CRAVE: Stirring Up A Hunger For Jesus

June 14-18 at Our Lady of Grace


Each June, Our Lady of Grace & our partner parish, St. Benedict, team up to offer a week-long Vacation Bible School (VBS for short) for kids 4 years of age through 5 th grade.  The VBS runs Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-noon each day. 

The VBS week centers on a main theme with a different topic for each day.  During their time at VBS, children will hear Bible stories, make crafts, play games, eat a snack, sing songs, and watch skits and videos relating to the topic. Our VBS is lead by our Discipleship & Evangelization staff and an amazing team of adults and teens
