A summer Vacation Bible School called Sky will be hosted at Hope Point Nazarene in Yuba City from July 9 to July 13.

At Sky, faith and imagination soar as kids discover that everything is possible with God.

Kids will join in Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs and play teamwork-building games. They also will make and dig into yummy treats, experience electrifying Bible adventures and collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them to trust God. Crafts that kids can play with all summer long also will be sent home with the children.

Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called “God Sightings.”

Kids at Sky will join an international mission’s effort to wipe out malaria in the African country of Mali—sending more than a million mosquito nets to protect  children.

Sky for 1^st to 5^th graders goes from 9 am to 12 noon each Monday thru Friday. For preschoolers 3 years thru Kindergarten, it will go from 9 am to 12 noon Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
