Come join us this summer at our new church home on New Cut Road for Vacation Bible School. Power Lab is loaded with fizzing fun as the kids discover Jesus' miraculous power! Get ready for an exciting adventure, following Jesus as he heals, helps, and gives power to people who need him.

We offer an age appropriate program of fun, games, bible X-ploration and worship. Glen Mar divides Vacation Bible School into three major sections allowing the curriculum to be molded specifically for each age group. Those finishing fourth and fifth grades won't be in just Vacation Bible School, but will be in the Vacation Bible eXperience! VBX is the vacation bible school designed to meet the unique needs of fourth and fifth graders. They will have their own, made just-for-them, dramas, games, snacks and songs.

• Preschool - age 4 through entering kindergarten
  Note: children must be 4 years old as of July 1st, 2008
• VBS - entering 1st grade through 4th grade
• VBX - entering 5th through entering 6th grade

Family Vacation Bible School is a program for the whole family to enjoy together and is offered during our Session III. (No, this is not a drop off event.) Dinner is served at 6:00 followed by games, activities and lessons that every family member will enjoy. We wrap up the evening at 8:30 so children can still get to bed on time.
