SUMMARY:Early Bird Registration for Vacation Bible School
DESCRIPTION:Snowball Mountain Challenge at Pender UMC\nGet ready to turn your next summer VBS into an unforgettable adventure with Snowball Mountain Challenge VBS 2026! \nSnowball Mountain Challenge invites kids to an exciting winter sports event where they become Challengers\, gearing up for frosty games\, snowy surprises\, and hands-on lessons about resilience and faith. They will come to realize that with the strength God provides\, they can share their gifts\, be brave\, give their all\, pray\, and hope. \nYour kids will be guided by the energetic Activities Director and the lovable Ollie the Arctic Seal puppet\, who is reporting on the events. Challengers aren’t just playing games. Using their Challenge Companion (the Bible)\, they learn to draw strength from their faith through powerful stories\, while connecting the learnings to Bible Stories and Lift Lessons (Key Learnings). With a unique winter theme and solid theology at its core\, Snowball Mountain Challenge VBS delivers joy and meaning in equal measure\, teaching kids that “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13\, NRSV). \nBring your family together to experience Snowball Mountain Challenge. Your VBS program will be transformed into a mountaintop experience filled with laughter\, life lessons\, and lasting faith. As children face their challenges and discover their strength in God\, you’ll hear them say\, “Challenge accepted – with God I am strong.” \nAges\nPotty-trained three year olds through ninth grade \nEarly Bird Registration is $25 per child until May 31. Registration includes lunch and a T-shirt.\nStarting June 1 registration will be $30 per child. \nQuestions?\nContact\nJane McKee\nVBS Director\n(703) 278-8023 \nRegister here. \nCan you help? \nVolunteer here.
