About Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School or VBS for short is a fun filled week of learning about God's great love for each and every one of us. It is a time for crafts, games, music, skits, contests. We generally have VBS the third week of July. It is something that children look forward to each summer. Our classes fill up fast. In 2007 more than 150 children from Abington and a dozen surrounding communities attended VBS. Registration is required to allow us to plan for the children adequately.

VBS 2008 theme is based upon an adventure park setting. We're not turning the church into a real park, but we will have decorations and fun events that will resemble a park.
