We are offering a brand new Vacation Bible School (VBS) program this year, entitled "Adventure Treasure Seekers." The theme will be based on archeology. The students will be learning about the Good News of Jesus Christ and his love for us through the metaphor of an archeological dig. They will be learning about both the Bible and archeology this year.
Each day students will experience Christian faith through: worship, Bible study, prayer, crafts, refreshments, music, and games. There will be a different theme and scripture focus each day, and each of those aspects will revolve around that theme to help reenforce the learning in ways that are fun, exciting, and memorable.
Our VBS program is done as a shared ministry between Christ Church UCC, Good Shepherd UCC, and Grace (Alsace) UCC. We take turns hosting the program from year to year. This year Good Shepherd UCC in Tuckerton will be hosting, and they are located at the corner of Route 61 and Tuckerton Ave.
Your are invited to join us. You DO NOT need to be a member of one of our churches, or of the United Church of Christ, or of any Christian church to participate. You are invited. Our program is designed for children who are approximately between 4 years old and 6th grade. There is no fee to register or participate.
For more information and/or for a registration form, please contact the church office at Office@ucctemple.org or 610-929-2020. Please be sure to include your name and address, so that we can send you the information via postal mail. When requesting registration forms, please let us know for how many children, as each student needs an individual registration form.

Good News Clues
You've heard of the children's hit TV show "Blues Clues." Last year our VBS theme was "Good News Clues!" The students learned about faith in five different ways in five different rooms you might find in your house.
Christ Church UCC was the host church last year in partnership with Good Shepherd UCC and Grace (Alsace) UCC. Over 60 students and teachers participated in what was a very exciting, fun, educational, and meaningful VBS experience.
Welcome Tents for Tsunami Kids
Our VBS offerings traditionally involve our children helping other children in the world. Last year we supported the "Welcome Tents for Kids Project." An ongoing joint UCC and Disciples of Christ relief effort for children whose lives were devastated by the December 26, 2004 tsunami. The children raised $467.15 to help children who are tsunami surivors. You can learn more about this important relief effort at: http://www.ucc.org/oghs/tsunamitents.pdf.
The UCC responds to disasters on an average of once every 2.5 days. Click on this link to learn more about the latest UCC disaster relief efforts and how you can help.
