Summer Info
Hi Lighthouse Grown-Ups,
WE CAN DO IT!!! That was just a little reassurance because I know the month of May is NUTS!!! But GOOD NEWS…the sun is beginning to shine and warm weather is here!
We hope the end of school ushers in some fun family time for you all! And we’re here to help! COME HANG WITH US THIS SUMMER!!!
Sunday Funday – summer Lighthouse – is at 9:00 June 2nd – July 21st. Our summer theme is “Experiencing Faith Through Music, Nature, Creativity & Play.” In the summers, we all meet together in the All-Sing room and I bring in summer interns to help me so we can give our teachers the summers off! Tell your kids to wear their “play clothes” because we’re bound to get dirty and have some serious FUN!
Summer VBS (see below for more information and to register) – Join us for this too!!!
· Please pass along VBS info to your friends! It’s going to be a wonderful time of learning and FUN for all ages! Grandparents welcome!!!
Blessings,
Brooke

Various Locations
Village Church at Prairie Village & Overland Park are combining to feature an intergenerational Vacation Bible School (VBS) this summer designed for the entire family—parents, grandparents, little kids and big kids alike! We’ll have learning, games, fun and food for the whole family. Dinner will be provided for all. VBS will be three Wednesday evenings this summer: June 12, 19 and 26.
VBS Schedule:
June 12: Special Olympics, Village on Mission

We will provide tangible, immersive family experiences with three local non-profits—one each Wednesday. We will explore what it means to love God’s people and how we might widen our wingspan in our efforts. It’s going to be a blast, and incredibly meaningful.
Program fee is $15 per person, max $60 per family (includes dinner). Registration opens April 15. Kate Ruecker: kate.ruecker@villagepres.org, 913-671-2350.
