All children ages 4 through just-completed 5th grade are welcome to VBS. VBS and the dinner are free. Invite your friends, families, and neighbors to Trinity this summer. Register by completing a form at the VBS table in the Narthex, scanning the QR code, or going to vbsmate.com/tlcnorman.
Interested in volunteering? Vacation Bible School is not possible without team of incredible volunteers who make the week possible. You can be a site leader, a group guide, registration, decorate, prep work, help in the kitchen, and so many more opportunities.
