This year, HPUMC’s VBS looked a little different but was still tons of fun for the 740 kids that participated. Throughout the week, children learned how to FOCUS and take a closer look at Jesus through games, crafts, and Bible stories.

And because it was online, VBS had a far-reaching impact — kids from New Jersey, Colorado, California, and throughout Texas were able to take part. Plus, it became a family affair as parents, grandparents, cousins, and more could join in the fun from home.

As an outreach activity, participants also donated hundreds of books for United to Learn, which seeks to share resources and improve literacy in elementary schools in our area.
