Friendship Trek - Jesus, our Forever Friend!

July 14-18 Monday through Friday are some very big ministry days here at St Mark.  It is when we hold our Vacation Bible School this summer.  It will be filled with learning about Jesus' love as our friend.  Many children are already signed up to attend.  Many of our staff members are already in place and gearing up to make this a very special Vacation Bible School (VBS).  The St Mark campus will really be buzzing with activity. 

Some of the activities that will abound are Bible stories, Crafts, Music, Games and Snacks.  It’s going to be a whole lot of fun and excitement.  We are anticipating close to 100 children this year.  That is a tremendous ministry outreach to our Sunnyvale community. 

St Mark needs you to join in and help.  Leslie Steen and Glenn Amick are Co-Directors and will be heading the planning along with the staff.  There are many staff members who dedicate their time and talents to this ministry outreach.  What will be important to our VBS program are people who will be dedicated and committed to pray for the staff and the children attending.  Please see the sign up possibilities for being a “prayer partner” for VBS!

A little bit about Friendship Treck:

At Friendship Trek, kids encounter exciting, daily Good Friend Challenges, setting them on the right path for faith, fun and friendship.  Along the trail, kids collect Friendship Flips….supercool gear every hiker needs!

For all the details about Friendship Treck including a complete schedule.

Join us for the big VBS Celebration party on Friday Evening, July 18!
