VBS 2026: Give God the Glory

Fergus Grant
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31

Vacation Bible School 2026

Day 3 – Give God the Glory

Saturday August 15, 2026/9am-12:30pm

We finish strong on Day 3 with hearts full of praise! Everything we’ve learned this summer comes together as participants discover that the goal of growing and shining isn’t about us — it’s about Him.

We’ll explore what it means to honor God with our talents, our time, and our whole hearts through worship, service, and gratitude. We will create a final craft to take home as a reminder that every good thing in our lives is an opportunity to give glory to God.

We’ll close out with a celebration that brings the whole summer together in one big, joyful moment of worship.

FULL SCHOOL SUPPLIES LIST

Lincoln Elementary and Elmore Elementary have combined this year, creating a greater need for support among local students and families. This also gives us a meaningful opportunity to show the love of Christ in a practical way.

As a church family, we have the chance to help children start the school year with everything they need to learn, grow, and feel confident in their classrooms.

In addition to the school supplies listed on the full supply list, we are also collecting:

New socks and underwear (these must be new)
White, black, or gray t-shirts in various children’s sizes
Backpacks for the children (they do not need to be clear)

For the complete grade-by-grade supply list, click the “Full School Supply List” button in this article.

Donations may be placed near the table at the back of the sanctuary, in the narthex. Every item you set there becomes a tangible reminder to a child that they are seen, valued, and cared for.

The teachers and students are extremely grateful for everything our congregation does for them.

Thank you for showing Christ’s love in such a practical, generous way as these kids prepare for the new school year.

Super Bowl of Caring 2025

Souper Bowl of Caring

February 9, 2025

As Super Bowl Sunday approaches that means it’s time for our annual Souper Bowl of Caring!

It’s an annual event where communities come together, inspired by the Super Bowl, to tackle hunger locally. For over three decades, the Souper Bowl of Caring has empowered individuals, organizations, and schools to raise food and funds for food banks and community-based charities.

As millions of people tune in to watch the Super Bowl, we’re also tuning in to the needs of our neighbors. The Souper Bowl of Caring is about taking action to fight hunger at the local level, ensuring that no one has to go without the food they need.

Our #FirstPresGB Souper Bowl of Caring is led by the Christian Education Committee along with Youth Group and is held annually on Super Bowl Sunday. The event is meant to bring an awareness to hunger and to curb hunger through soup. The cost will be $5 per person and there will be 8 different soup stations for people to experience. Each soup sampler will have a chance to vote and judge our Souper Bowl winner.

We invite each person to bring a muffin tin to hold the soup samples. (One muffin tin per person.) Disposable cups will be available to place in your muffin tin to avoid the mess. You will be asked to try all the soups but you can only vote for one. The Souper Bowl awardee will receive the cherished Golden Ladle that’s passed on year after year to the awarded winner. The current Golden Ladle holder from our 2024 Souper Bowl of Caring was chef Cassandra Aceituno with her stuffed pepper soup.

There’s no need to sign up—ALL are welcome—we hope to see you there!
