Rocky Railway…
All Aboard! Head for the mountains of run at Rocky Railway! On this faith-filled adventure, kids and volunteers discover that trusting Jesus pulls them through life’s ups and downs!
 
Take a 5 day journey with Powell UMC Vacation Bible School to allow your child’s world to be transformed! We will explore God’s Word, grow in friendships with each other and with Christ! The Bible stories come to life through teaching, exploring and understanding as to how God is talking to us through scripture today in a fun, relevant and exciting way!
 
Meet the Bible Buddies, meet children going through challenges in their life in KidVid, discover in Imagination Station, praise in music, play in recreation, meet friends and meet Jesus at VBS!

A $10.00 donation contributes toward the cost of an alpaca as well as to educating families on how to care for those important animals. Join us in making a long-lasting impact across the globe! Your contribution will help not only families today but entire communities in years to come.
