VBS 2026 - Tropical Trek

Monday, June 8, 2026 to Friday, June 12, 2026

Join us for a Tropical Trek where we will learn how Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10)! As we traverse fun and exciting places, like a dormant volcano and island caves, we’ll discover how God finds us and helps us in every challenge we face.

51 When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. Luke 9:51

Dear friends and members of St. Paul’s,

Tomorrow, we begin Holy week with the Palm Sunday/Passion Sunday services. Throughout this week consider reading through the events of that lead up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday. The following link gives you verse by verse chronological look at these events https://wolfmueller.co/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/The-Passion-of-Our-Lord-Jesus-Christ-Drawn-From-All-Four-Gospels.docx As you hit Good Friday, check out this chart HolyWeekChronology-New-1.pdf which gives scriptural references for Good Friday, Easter, and his post resurrection appearances. God willing, I’ll see many of you in church over the next week…there is no better place to be 😊

Yours in Christ,
Pastor Krenz
