Main Street UMC is back to full capacity after a year of COVID restrictions. One of the first major events since entering Phase 5 will be to host its annual VBS program. The theme this year is Rainforest Explorers, where the kids will learn about the tools they have to help guide them on their faith journey of following Christ. Kids will journey through the rainforest with stops at the “Riverside Storytellers Hut”, the “Marketplace Crafts”, participate in “Explorer Training Games”, and eat snacks in the “Mess Hall”. One of the kid’s favorite volunteers, Miss Lisa said, “I’m excited to see all the kids together again, eat good snacks, learn about Jesus, and enjoy all the fun activities in store!”

We recognize COVID restrictions have been lifted for vaccinated adults. We are still encouraging the wearing of masks and keeping safe social distances for all students and volunteers. We share the best safety practices for the most vulnerable around us, our kids, until all can be vaccinated.
