VBS Offering 2025
LET'S MAKE A BIG IMPACT IN OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY!
Blessing Box Offering
All offerings collected during “Live It Out” VBS will go directly toward our new Blessing Box—a 24/7, self-serve community pantry right here at the church.
- How it works: If you’re able, please leave non-perishable items—canned goods, pasta, rice, shelf-stable staples—so that our pantry stays stocked.
- Who it’s for: If you or someone you know needs a little extra help, feel free to take whatever you need—no questions asked.
By contributing your offering and pantry donations during VBS, you’re helping us build a place of compassion and care where God’s love is shared in tangible ways. Let’s come together to ensure that every neighbor can both give and receive the blessings of community.
Kids will being in their offering each day and we will celebrate during worship!
