Other Activities at Second Baptist Church during June:
- Opportunities for strengthening and sharing our faith and Biblical knowledge occur through several small group opportunities:

SAVE THE DATE: VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (VBS) – July 8-12 – 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
At VBS, kids will dive deep into an amazing undersea adventure where they’ll experience the ever-flowing, never-ending love of God. At Scuba VBS, kids will be immersed in the Word and discover what having God in your life is really all about!
But what exactly is VBS? It is a high-energy, fun, and immersive week where kids are exposed to God using an exciting theme (scuba!). Activities include hands-on science experiments in Imagination Station. In “Bible Adventures” kids become a part of the bible stories. There will also be themed snacks, outdoor games, and plenty of singing and dancing.
Parents can register their children aged preschool through 5th grade at secondbaptistsuffield.org. The cost of VBS is $15/child ($30 max per family for the week), but no one will be turned away for inability to pay. We are looking for adults and kids in grades 6-12 to be activity leaders and help with props, decorations and set-up. VBS is a great way to earn those community service hours.
If you want to help, call Sue at 860-402-7813. See you there!
