A half-size model of the Old Testament tabernacle will be highly visible for this year’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) at the Pagosa Springs Church of Christ.
At half-size, the tabernacle is 7.5 feet tall and 22.5 feet long (based on a cubit being 18 inches long). The tabernacle is surrounded by a white fence and has half-size replicas of the pieces of furniture. In the past, it has been set up and used at more than 18 camps and VBSs.
This year’s theme will be “Camping With God” and stories will center around Moses and the Old Testament tabernacle. Children attending will be actively engaged in the stories and Bible study as well as walking through the tabernacle.
The youth group from Woodward, Okla., will return to help the stories come to life with acting, puppets, games, quizzes, songs and crafts. Refreshments will be served daily.
On Wednesday evening, the children will put on a program demonstrating the things they have learned in VBS. At the end of the program there will also be an opportunity to learn about and tour the tabernacle, to visit the children’s class rooms and meet their teachers.
VBS concludes on Friday with a hot dog picnic. Parents, families and friends are invited to those activities, as well as being encouraged to visit the daily classes at anytime.
The VBS will be held July 22-26 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the church building located at 277 Lewis St.
Transportation to and from VBS is available with the Joy Bus. For the stop nearest you and time of pick up in your area, or for more information, call the church office at (970) 264-2552 and leave a message.
Enrollment forms may be found in the paper, and all children 4 years to 8th grade are invited. Make plans now for your children to attend this exciting time of learning and growing.
