VBS, fitness, fresh produce and more

Vacation Bible school is coming this summer to Midway United Methodist Church on July 30 through Aug. 2, from 5:30-8:15 p.m. Midway UMC is located at 708 S. Main St., Kannapolis.

This year the theme is “Setting God’s Table.” Dinner will be served Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. On Aug. 2, the commencement service will be held from 6-7 p.m. VBS is open to Pre-K through fifth graders.

“Setting God’s Table” VBS is a missional vacation Bible school planned by four area Methodist Churches: Bethpage UMC, Jackson Park UMC, Memorial UMC, and Midway UMC. The theme comes from Matthew 6:11, “Give us this day our daily bread.”

Children will learn about how God provides for our needs daily by singing songs, making crafts, making a snack, and hearing a nightly Bible story. We hope to see you at VBS for fun, fellowship, and sharing the love of Christ.
