We have an exciting theme for FUMC 2012 VBS!

San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity has developed a great curriculum for Vacation Bible School that fits with our approach beautifully. With teachers (Engineers) and children (carpenters) and blueprints (Bible stories) and many other fun building expressions woven into the mix.

The key vision of using this program from the Habitat for Humanity is that "children get excited about both Habitat and about serving and volunteering in their community," says Lauren Klapp, Faith Relations Intern, SGV Habitat for Humanity.  "The education about our neighborhood’s poverty as well as what children and  families can do to help is a great lesson in general. And, of course, the metaphor of a 'strong foundation in Christ' demonstrated by home construction is just right for young minds!"

We will have our successful center approach with opening and closing in the chapel. Watch for more details and registration forms soon!

In the meantime, tell your friends to SAVE THE DATE for FUMC VBS 2012! July 9-13

Christian Education for the children of the church is an important part of the FUMC Pasadena program. Biblical teachings combined with hands-on activities invite young people to experience the love of Christ for all people equally, regardless of wealth or status.  

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat...
I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
