THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY

In the season of Lent, FPC Moorestown explores what it means to be “The Good and Beautiful Community.” Author of the book by the same name. James Bryan Smith writes of this community. “Apprentices of Jesus are not part-time do-gooders. They live in continuous contact with the kingdom of God, and are constantly men and women in whom Christ dwells. They do not sometimes tell the truth, sometimes live sacrificially or sometimes forgive. There are myriad opportunities for us to impact the world in which we live.”

On each Sunday, our sermon will reference a chapter of the book, you’ll find the chapter title in italics.

A CALL TO FASTING AND PRAYER ON THURSDAYS

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7: 14

Join Pastor Stuart Spencer on Thursdays for a day of full or partial fasting. However or whenever you fast on Thursdays, be sure to participate in our Evening Prayer service at 7:00 pm. If you are unable to fast for medical reasons, plan to make Thursday a special day of prayer for yourself, our church and our nation. Let’s get started!

Vacation Bible School

VBS June 24 – 28

On your mark, get set … GO!!!

Race to the Finish and run the Race of Faith at VBS 2024. In the Olympics, people from across the globe compete in sports games. Each of the five Olympic rings represents a different continent, and each class of VBS has a color for one of those rings / continents. During the five days of VBS, students will “travel” to a different continent and learn a bit about that place’s culture, people, and practices and how Jesus has influenced their lives.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

June 24-28 from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon
Children entering Kindergarten through entering 6th grade (FALL 2024).
When registering, please enter your child’s CURRENT grade for 2023-24.
Cost: $25 per child; $20 for each additional child
Deadline to Register: June 21, 2024

There will be Bible class, crafts, snacks, missions, and music. During recreation time, we will compete in our own mini Olympics with Olympic-type games and “medals.”

Vacation Bible School is open to students entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2024 to 6th grade.

Join us as we learn that through Jesus, we are Valuable, Influential, Brave, Encouraging, and Selfless.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

VBS Volunteers are needed – will you share some of your time?

Race to the Finish can only be completed with a strong support team! We need volunteers for all parts of the journey: shining Jesus’ light through Bible stories, guiding crews on their adventures, singing and dancing as we praise God, keeping our crews fed, helping them to burn energy at recreation, engaging them with Jesus in world missions, checking in our Olympians each day, decorating our facilities to embrace our Olympic dreams through the week, and creating projects to share with our community.

VBS 2023 – it was a blast!

Here is just an example, from past Vacation Bible School programs, of what our VBS camps look like:

Each day includes an important Bible point.
- DAY 1: God made you.
- DAY 2: God is for you.
- DAY 3: God is always with you.
- DAY 4: God will always love you.
- DAY 5: God made you for a reason.
Children start every day in a rotation format: Sing & Play, Game Makers, Imagination Station, Snack Factory and Bible Discovery learning important truths through meaningful activities that connect directly with the day’s Bible point.

Stellar: Shine Jesus’ Light Vacation Bible School

It was a great week at VBS!

At Stellar: Shine Jesus’ Light, we launched on a cosmic quest where we had a blast shining Jesus’ light into the world. Kids took off on an out-of-this-word adventure that is light years of faith-building fun.

Our Vacation Bible School program is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few activities that help faith flow into real life.
