This summer's Bluffton Community Vacation Bible School is hosted by St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 160 N. Spring St., and it takes place Sunday, July 18, through Thursday, July 22. 

The VBS theme is Rocky Railroad – Jesus' power pulls us through.

Due to the unknowns that covid-19 continues to share, VBS will be delivered in a hybrid format.

All children and their families are invited to participate in outdoor activity stations on Sunday and Thursday nights.

Families are asked to attend in a staggered format to ensure social distancing.

Registration is now underway for youth ages 4 to 7 in-person VBS. To access the registration form clicking here.

Completed forms may be dropped off at St. Mary's or First Mennonite Church.

• Children aged 4-7 (preschool – 1st grade) are additionally invited to join in person Monday – Wednesday nights in the traditional format, in small groups with volunteer leaders.

• Children over 7 will use activity packets and supplies they gathered on Sunday night to engage with videos included with the VBS curriculum.

All children and families are invited to return on Thursday night in the same staggered patterns to participate in the outdoor activity stations again. 18-22
