2022 VBS
Super fun way to learn about Jesus!!
Good Shepherd's Vacation Bible School (VBS) will be held July 25th-29th, 2022 from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM. Registration is now OPEN!
This summer, we will go off-road for a Monumental adventure through the colorful canyons and sunbaked trails of the southwest. By exploring God's awesomeness, kids will form a rock-solid faith for the road ahead. We can't wait!
We will be offering an in-person VBS experience. Kids will spend time both indoors and outdoors, and we anticipate that we will continue our mask-optional policy. The registration fee for VBS is $40 per child, which includes a CD, tshirt, and materials for the week. Please bring cash or checks made out to "Good Shepherd Lutheran Church" to the church or preschool office.
Please note: we also have full-day summer camp available. If your child is attending summer camp at Good Shepherd during VBS week, you do NOT need to fill out this form. All campers will participate in VBS for the mornings!
We rely on many volunteers to make our VBS a success. If a parent or grandparent volunteers to help at VBS, we will waive your child's registration fee! If you are interested in volunteering, or if you have any questions, please contact Kelsey Tichenor at
ktichenor@gselgin.org or (847)741-7788, ext. 4. Thank you!
