Vacation Bible School

You are invited to VBS!

Monday, July 31st – Friday, August 4th

The 2023 Vacation Bible School theme is water.  We will learn about Noah’s Ark, the parting of the Red Sea, water from a rock, and Jesus calming the storm. Our mission focus will be caring for the water on this planet and all those who consume it.  First Presbyterian Church and Westminster Presbyterian Church are co-hosting at 310 5th Street SE in Cedar Rapids.

VBS will take place evenings Monday through Thursday and will culminate with an all day Friday field trip to the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium in Dubuque.

Please complete the registration form HERE and either return it to the church office or bring it with you to the first day of VBS.
