News Release First Presbyterian Church North Platte
NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-First Presbyterian Church (USA) in North Platte is gearing up for this summer’s premier event. Vacation Bible School, “Meet us at the Baobab tree!,” is slated for May 23-27 at the church, 1901 West Leota Street.
“We are ready to meet everyone at the Baobab tree and explore the safari in a wild and fun-filled week! We are really excited about VBS here at First Presbyterian!” Pastor Emily McCreery said. “We are looking at this as not only VBS, but a time for our church and the community of North Platte to come together, learn about God’s creation and gifts and celebrate God’s love.
“We hope youth and adults join us for the week and then relax with fellowship, food, and water slides at a great cookout and party on May 27.”
This is an intergenerational event. Each day will begin with a meal at 5:30 p.m., followed by singing, devotion, and prayer from 6-6:20 p.m., learning and activities from 6:20-7:40, and then gather back together for singing and prayer 7:40-8 p.m. Each day is centralized around water through different stories of the Bible.
There will also be an adult Bible study from 6:20-7:40 each night. We will begin and end each session together, youth and adults.
On the final night, May 27 beginning at 5:30, we will host a program where VBS kids and leaders will sing and produce a skit, followed by a family cookout and gigantic water slide.
“This is a complete family event,” McCreery said. “There will be learning for not only youth, but parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles, and neighbors. All are welcome no matter the denomination or church membership.”
Prior registration is encouraged but walk-ins are welcomed. Downloadable registration forms are available at www.fpcnp.org.
