VBS: Making a Splash

VBS Director: Lisa Hieber • June 2, 2025

Dive into Faith & Fun: Why this year's SCUBA VBS is a Splashin' Good time!

Ahoy there, future deep-sea explorers! 🐠⚓


Grab your snorkels and flippers, because VBS is making waves this summer—and you’re invited on the ultimate underwater adventure! Our theme this year is "Scuba: Diving into Friendship with God", and let me tell you, it’s going to be a whale of a good time!


🐳 Why Should Kids Take the Plunge and Join Us at Scuba VBS?

At Scuba VBS, we’re not just wading in the shallow end—we’re going DEEP into God’s love! Each day is packed with ocean-themed activities that will help kids explore the Bible, build friendships, and grow a faith that’s deeper than the Mariana Trench.


We’ve got:


  • 🐚 Fin-tastic games that make a splash!


  • 🍍 Tidal wave treats that fuel the fun!


  • 🐙 Deep-sea discovery stations full of crafts, experiments, and hands-on learning!


  • 🎶 Bubble-bopping music that gets kids dancing and praising God with every splash!


Kids will learn that even in the deepest waters, God is always with us—guiding, loving, and cheering us on. Every station is designed to reinforce that truth in fun and unforgettable ways.


Whether your little diver is a brave explorer or a quiet guppy, there’s room on this ship for everyone. At Scuba VBS, we dive in together and come up changed—more joyful, more confident, and more connected to the God who created the sea and everything in it.


🐬 Why We Need More Crew Members Like YOU!

We’ve got the gear. We’ve got the plan. But we can’t sail these seas without our amazing volunteer crew!


Volunteering at VBS is like being part of a submarine team—you play a crucial role in keeping things afloat and making this the most jaw-some week of the year. Whether you want to help guide groups of kiddos (a.k.a. our “school of fish”), prep snacks at the Coral Café, lead songs in the Splash Zone, or decorate with seaweed and starfish—there’s a place on board for you.


Here’s what you get as a VBS volunteer:

  • A front-row seat to see kids encounter God in real and meaningful ways
  • Endless laughs, hugs, and maybe a glitter explosion or two
  • A joyful heart that knows it helped plant seeds of faith under the sea
  • And let’s be real: the best group of co-volunteers you’ll ever meet. We’re talking legendary, folks. Like, Moby Dick legendary.


No experience? No problem. Whether you’re a seasoned VBS veteran or dipping your toes in for the first time, we’ll train and support you every step of the way.


🌊 Come On In—The Water’s Fine!

So what do you say?


Parents: Sign your kids up for an unforgettable deep-sea dive into faith!


Volunteers: Join our crew and help us make waves for Jesus!


Let’s fill our submarine with smiling faces, joyful hearts, and enough sea creature puns to last the whole summer. God’s love is deeper than the ocean—and we want every child to experience it, one splash at a time.


Dive on in, friends. The adventure awaits—and it’s going to be off the scales! 🐟

A Lifetime of Love
By Pastor Nate Widener July 28, 2025
St. Peter’s Family, My wife Amy and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the outpouring of love you have shown us over the last several weeks. This past weekend, my oldest daughter Gwyn was married to our wonderful son-in-law Benjamin Corley, and we couldn’t be happier. But, what made it all the sweeter was seeing so many of your caring and supportive faces in the congregation. Similarly, as you know, just a few short weeks ago I lost my father, Nick Widener, and I cannot express to you the depth of my thankfulness for all of the condolences that you have given me and my family. Your cards are all sitting on the windowsill of my office. Without question St. Peter’s is a loving and caring congregation, and this is part of what makes you so great. Thank you for taking care of us, so that we can also take care of you. May God Bless you, Pastor Nate

As we begin our new preschool year, we will need some supplies. It takes a lot of glue, markers and paint to keep preschoolers busy. Please consider taking a letter or two from our “Giving Tree”. Each letter is labeled with a needed supply item to be donated. Once you have shopped, you can return the item(s) to the tree. Thank you for your generosity as you bless our preschool. You are truly appreciated!
