ReNew: The Green VBS. Did you know that more than 50 of Jesus' stories are included in the Gospels? The Sower is a parable that is told in Matthew, Mark and Luke! Such a simple story about  a sower tossing seeds out to grow ... so many layers for our children to explore and connect to. Through environmental challenges, music, family assignments, reflection and prayer, Pre-K through 5th grade children will explore the many nuances of this favorite parable. Why do YOU think Jesus told this story? For more information, contact Tricia Copeland or Jennifer Sisul. Registration is open and the registration form is available below. Don't delay.
