New Hope UMC Vacation Bible School

New Hope UMC invites families to visit Rome - Vacation Bible School

“This year we’re transforming our church and grounds into the Bible-times city of Rome,” says Pastor Bill Masciangelo, of New Hope United Methodist Church. “Strap on your sandals for fun, adventure, God's love, and memorable Bible-learning activities for families. Each day during this Holy Land Adventure, kids and adults become apprentices in a variety of hands-on marketplace shops. You'll play high-energy games, take part in eye-catching dramas, and visit with Paul---who's under house arrest. "

“Rome immerses learners of all ages in Bible-times culture, helping kids and adults explore what it might have been like to live as the church was just beginning. Families will experience new traditions, taste new foods, try new arts and crafts projects, and discover that God’s love is the most powerful gift, saving us from our sins.”

Rome - Paul and the Underground Church Vacation Bible School begins on August 3rd and continues through August 7th. We begin by serving a complementary meal each evening at 5:00 p.m. After the meal Vacation Bible School starts at 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.

Pre-registration for Vacation Bible School will be held on Saturday, July 25th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00. You can also register anytime after July 25th by calling June at 264-2481.

New Hope United Methodist Church is located at the corner of New Hope Road and Woodville Road in Hertford, NC. For additional information or if you would like to volunteer to help with Vacation Bible School call Lindsay at 252-337-5377.
