VBS Compassion Camp: What Every Living Thing Needs

Vacation Bible School at First Pres Santa Monica is July 31 – August 4. Children aged 3 through 5th grade are invited to join us each day from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for this year’s VBS program, Compassion Camp: What Every Living Thing Needs. All kids are also invited to stay for our VBS Plus program from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. That’s a full day of Bible learning and fun activities for kids. Financial assistance is available if needed. Contact Peter Earhart at the church.

Through Compassion Camp: What Every Living Thing Needs, kids will explore what all living things need to live—shelter, food, water, air, and community—and how we can have compassion for the living earth, especially in their local ecosystems. Through awareness, gratitude, wonderment, reciprocity, and kinship, kids will consider how to become co-sustainers and participants in the work of God’s creation. Using Psalm 104 as our grounding text, along with additional supporting scripture, kids will closely examine the interconnectedness of the whole earth—humans alongside the more-than-human world.
