Vacation Bible School
We create interactive experiences that will spark your child’s imagination and enhance their faith journey. With rockin’ music, compelling stories, goofy games, creative crafts, and so much more, your children will have an experience they will never forget! Our Vacation Bible School typically takes place the first full week after the July 4th holiday and is for preschoolers (age 3 by September 1) through students entering 8th grade in the fall. Kids are encouraged to save their coins for our “heavy offering” each year. It’s a contest! Who will win each year’s competition to raise the most money for our mission project?!?

Egypt: Joseph's Journey from Prison to Palace
July 13 to July 17 from 6:30PM to 8:30PM
Join us in ancient Egypt! You’ll travel back into Bible times — without leaving your community! Each day, you will become part of history as you see, hear, touch, and even taste what it was like to live in Pharaoh's empire! You’ll explore authentic Marketplace shops, visit Joseph on his journey, take part in games, dance to lively Bible songs, and sample tasty tidbits as you discover more about how God was with Joseph in good times and bad. These experiences make God’s Word come alive with new meaning for all who participate!
Let your friends and family know! Registration opens May 1. Contact Pastor Sherry with questions at sherry.steele@plainfieldumc.com.
VBS 2024 - Camp Firelight
Our 2024 Vacation Bible School took place on Sunday, July 7 through Thursday, July 11. Camp Firelight VBS invited children and youth to learn to trust God in every situation. We sang with our live VBS band, heard amazing stories grounded in scripture, played exciting games, created cool crafts, shared snacks, did science experiments and had loads of memorable fun together. Our goal for campers was to know that we can turn to God and trust God to help us share love with the world! THANK YOU to everyone who made our Camp Firelight Vacation Bible School experience one we will never forget!
VBS 2023 - Hero Hotline
Approximately 85 kids and 50 adults participated in PUMC’s Hero Hotline VBS on July 9 to July 13, 2023! We've learned everyone’s gifts are valued and each hero has a role to play. A HUGE thank you to all of the volunteer heroes at VBS this year! We had a terrific week.
