VBS 2026-RainForest Falls
Root Kids in a Relationship With God
Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.
Volunteer- members needed to help decorate, be a stations leader, food prep and other duties. If you can help this year please email [email protected].

SUMMER CAMP
For several years now St. John's youth have been participating in Summer Games University in Grinnell, Iowa. They have an amazing week in July connecting with youth across Iowa and growing their relationships with Jesus Christ.

St. John's youth help fundraiser to cover expenses associated with camp by having a bake sale on Palm Sunday and receive donations from members on this day. There are some qualifications to receive assistance but we don't want the cost of camp to deter a student from this amazing experience. For more information on camp please contact [email protected]

Will there be cookies? Of course.
Caffeine for adults? You betcha.
Great prices? Of course.
Will volunteers be wrapping the gifts? Just like they do at Von Maur.
There will be people available to assist children and others if needed.
