Please Note: VBS is where kids have fun, make friends, and find a place to belong. This happens as they discover who God is through age-appropriate Bible stories, activities, worship, and prayer.  Your kids will have a blast while every activity, Bible lesson, and song points them to Jesus. VBS takes place each summer, it will be coming back to St. Mary's Of the Lake the Summer of 2026.
