Every summer local churches plan a week or weekend full of fun activities, snacks, meals and Bible stories for children and youth to enjoy throughout the summer. Vacation Bible School (VBS) is an annual tradition enjoyed by many children here in Madison County and throughout the country. Not only is VBS a great way to instill faith and help teach your children more about the Bible, it is also a good escape from the monotonous summer days and occasional sibling fighting due to boredom. Children can socialize and engage with peers and friends while worshiping, singing and learning about God. Below are the dates for local VBS programs offered throughout Madison County:
• Fellowship Baptist Church – Thursday, July 21 through Sunday, July 24
• First Baptist Church of Madison – Sunday, July 24 through Thursday, July 28, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
