Youth Coordinator Dahlia Branigan

The children in our parish are invited to a life changing impact of getting to know Jesus and this year our theme is the "Power Lab - Discovering Jesus' Miraculous Power",  it'll be fizzing with fun!  The kids will have an exciting adventure, following Jesus as he heals, helps and gives power to people who need him.

Everyone involved in our VBS will explore God's Word... and never be the same again!  As kids experience amazing Bible adventures, they'll take part in daily challenges that encourage then to apply Bible truths to everyday life.

Our Youth Ministry values both solid biblical learning and good old-fashioned fun. We are committed to an approach that takes children deep into God's Word while also capturing the joy and wonder that children naturally possess.  We hope to touch the mind, heart and soul of every child that attends our program.

Each day  they will discover more of who God is.  Through mind boggling science experiments, memorable praise music, Scripture memory, unique crafts, exciting games and the powerful testimony of God's Word.  This is a wonderful opportunity for building Faith, Fellowship, Friendship and Fun.  Registration forms are on the church's website ( www.stkevin.on.ca) and may be sent to stkevinsyouthministry@cogeco.ca, the church office or placed in the collection plate at Mass. Please use one form per child.  Space is limited and early registration is suggested.
