What a WONDERFUL week we had at our Totally Catholic Rocky Railway VBS! Even though the week is over, it is our constant hope and prayer that the lessons learned and the friendships made during VBS will stay with your child and family forever.
Please remind your children often that: Jesus' power helps us do hard things...Trust Jesus! Jesus' power gives us hope...Trust Jesus! Jesus' power helps us be bold...Trust Jesus! Jesus' power lets us live forever...Trust Jesus! Jesus' power helps us be good friends...Trust Jesus!
Updates/Reminders: *We hope to see everyone at our closing Mass this Saturday, June 26th at 4:30pm. The children are encouraged to wear their VBS t-shirts. *Download the free App "Rocky Railway Bible Buddies" and scan each Bible Memory Buddy card for an interactive game! *Lost and Found - Check with the Church office or in the gathering space this weekend if you are missing any items: an iPad, certificates, hoodies, Bible Buddies, etc. *Preparations for next year's VBS will begin sooner than you realize! Please let Melanie Mesmer know if you would like to volunteer to be on the VBS committee. We could use at least 8 more adults at next year's VBS.

Today at VBS:
Crews learned the Bible Point for the day: Jesus' power helps us be good friends...Trust Jesus!
At Sing & Play, we met Bible Memory Buddy Lawrence Elk and sang Rocky Railway songs.
At Imagination Station, we made Power Bands with three types of friendship beads. We also met Saint Benedict and Scholastica.
In Loco Motion Games we were excited to have another beautiful day outside where we played Train of Thought and Noodle Track!
During Chew Chew Snacks, we ate a yummy treat together...Teddy Grahams and fruit cups.
At KidVid Cinema, we saw how Renee and Alina became friends when they helped in a cool church ministry. They love spending time together and growing in friendship with Jesus and each other!
In Bible Adventures, we searched for "review clues," had a party to celebrate our good friends, and acted out ways the first Christians showed friendship and unity.
Finally, at Rocky Wrap-Up, we saw a sciency celebration of Jesus' power and added our final Bible Memory Buddy to our collection.
