Jeremiah 29:11
The world often feels chaotic—void and without form—but God created the world from seeming chaos. Though the world may seem disordered, God is in control. We can see His divine plan for us entangled in the lives of His children throughout the Bible. As we discover His wonderful plans for us, His powerful and loving nature is revealed.
In this VBS, we are going back to the beginning to find the seeds of God’s plan—seeds from the Garden of Eden that bore fruit in the Garden of Gethsemane. Join us as we untangle God’s plan for us and discover how His plan is flourishing in our lives today. Are you ready for a life-changing exploration? Travel with us back to the beginning as we discover the truly remarkable nature of God.
