REGISTER HERE FOR 2018
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL ART CAMP July 9-13, 2018 (Mon - Fri) Supper at 5:15pm Camp 6-8 pm |
|
Our theme for this year is A Love That Never Ends. The theme verse is Deuteronomy 6:5: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might." Loving God and loving others sounds simple enough. But saying you love God and love others is relatively easy; living it out gets more complicated. Together, using our art workshops and time together, we'll consider what it means to live as people
loved by God. |
Open to all children 3 years old
through high school. Invite your friends! Register online using the orange button above. Studio descriptions are below. Each studio has limited spaces. Register early for the most options. $10/child, $30 max per family If you're registering 4 or more children, please contact the office at plchurchcville@gmail.com for a discount code. If cost is a factor and you need a scholarship, enter the word PEACE in the payment box for each child. An optional simple meal will be served each evening at 5:15 for our Art Camp attendees (and their families, if desired.)
Dinner is priced at $10 per person for all five evenings. Contact the office if you need assistance paying for meals. |

Elementary: (for kids entering grades 1-5) Choose your studio from the list below, for a week of in-depth creative exploration. Spaces are limited, so register early to get your first choice!
- Visual Arts: Explore God’s love through projects including yarn and foil embossing, personalized greeting cards, and the creation of a mural. At the end of the week, we will divide the mural so that a part of it goes home with each artist, and part stays to be displayed at Peace.
- Cooking: Learn to bake tasty treats related to each day’s theme. Cook up some scones for your family breakfast, create heart-shaped pizzas, and decorate homemade cakes for our final night celebration!
- Movement: Stretch your body with yoga, get moving with Zumba, and learn new forms of dance as we get our bodies moving!
- Drama: Use your imagination to become new characters and explore new stories. Have fun exploring the ways that body movement and voice inflection can more clearly portray a concept or emotion. Then perform for family and friends on the final night!
- Art and Science: Create and explore as we combine art and science to learn about God’s love. Study the night sky, discover the power of water, and become a young inventor!
- Pottery: Put your hands in some clay and see what you can create! We’ll make clay pots, beads, and more as we sculpt and learn together.
- Woodworking: Use hammers and nails to create crafts that provide homes for God’s creatures and signs of our faith in Jesus Christ. All you need to bring is your creativity and we will all learn how to share God’s love through our hands and our tools.
Middle/Senior High: (for youth entering grades 6-12) Join Molly Foster (art teacher at Hollymead Elementary) to create a variety of works of art. In this workshop we will focus on learning how to draw a landscape, how to paint with acrylic paints, and we will make 3D sculptures using various materials. Use of space and form will be explored with each medium. We will discuss the challenges we may find when creating and how we can see things from a new perspective.
Bishop Humphrey’s Response to the Santa Fe High School Shooting:
|
“Thus says the Lord:
A voice is heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping. Rachel is weeping for her children; she refuses to be comforted for her children, because they are no more.” (Jeremiah 31:15) Yet again we find ourselves reacting to the incomprehensible and unacceptable tragedy of a mass shooting. We lift our prayers for the victims at Santa Fe High School and all who are affected. Let us also recommit ourselves, as followers of Jesus, to help create ways to avoid future massacres and deadly violence. — Bishop Bob Humphrey, Bishop of the Virginia ELCA Synod |
