We are excited to announce that Vacation Bible School WILL BE HAPPENING this summer! On August 18-20th, we will have two on-site sessions each day for three days. You can register for either the morning or the evening on-site sessions or choose to participate from home and a take home packet with supplies will be provided to you.
For those that prefer the at-home option, we will be using a “social distance awareness”-friendly VBS called Backyard BOLT: Towards Faith in Jesus. With minimal preparation, easy-to-follow instructions, and a video that leads you and your kids step-by-step through each of the 3 days, BOLT is designed for you to carry out with your family at home. It’s so simple!
Register today by clicking here.
Whether participating during BOLT on-site or at-home, your children will participate in fun games that illustrate what it means to listen to, focus on, and follow Jesus. Each day’s experience will last about an hour and a half (two hours for on-site sessions). It’s great for kids of all ages! Can’t make August 18-20th work? Don’t worry. We’ll will post the link after August 20th on the church website and leave the Family Portal link active until September 1st.
If you want to get a better idea of what BOLT is, you can watch the Day 2 sample video here. (But don’t let your kiddos see it just yet—we want to save the fun for later.)
Let's take this crisis and turn it into an outreach opportunity! As you are comfortable gathering with others, invite neighbor kids, friends, and family to your house for BOLT. We challenge you to share the good news of Jesus with others in your community!
We’ll be sending you more information about VBS, including our VBS mission project, and will have family kits available the week of August 10th. In the meantime, get your family excited about BOLT VBS whether you join us on-site or at-home. This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!
In Him,
Paula Holmen, Children’s Ministry Director

Last year's Vacation Bible School was held June 3-7, 2019. Vacation Bible School continues to be a true testimony and huge demonstration here at NL Covenant of the “body of Christ” in action as the children experienced a week of the “Incredible Race”. The kids learned songs, memorized scripture, made crafts, ate snacks, and played games all in the context of a race around the world.
Our theme…“The Incredible Race…One Family. One Race. One Savior.”…a race that began at the Garden of Eden and continues until this day. A race made up of all people from all time. The human race! As we moved from continent to continent in The Incredible Race, we made stops at various times before, at, and after the largely important Tower of Babel incident and saw how it matters greatly today! We discovered our need to yield our lives to Christ as He reaches out with His love! We had over 120 kids attend throughout the week and 70 adults and youth who helped. About half of those kids participating, are not from regularly attending families. We served about 700 meals/suppers to people throughout the week. The kids and adults raised just about $700 for the VBS mission project, which was to help provide PE equipment for the Youth Group's July 2019 mission trip to the Blackfeet Nation in Montana to share with the children they served there. Praise God for a great week!!
