At this Vacation Bible School kids will explore Thunder Island, a place where God speaks to us from the thunder to tell us how much He loves us! They’ll love learning more about Jesus through Bible stories from the Gospel of John. Five days of Christ-centered activities will help kids see that God is always with us.
