VBS 2025 was an exhilarating, faith-filled, Alaskan adventure! About 100 youth participated in this year’s program as participants and volunteers! We spent a fun week discovering that even in a world gone wild, we can always trust Jesus, our TRUE NORTH!
The Together in Christ Family is blessed to have many dedicated volunteers who went beyond expectations to make memories that the children will not forget. Thank you to all the leaders – Stephanie Bobbett, Phil Culliton, Elizabeth Forman, Melissa Garrity, Bridget Gedeon, Christa Harder-Stepien, Lisa Kennedy, and Lisa Warner. Thank you for sharing God’s goodness through your time and talents!
We extend a very special thank you to Liz Hardick and her talented decorating team for creating an ultimate Alaskan themed environment for our participants. With all the vibrant colors and landscapes, it felt like our crews were navigating through the great northern lights.
Our teens were the hiking crew leaders throughout the week. Their caring and dedication to the children were true examples of how to be disciples of Jesus. (photos below)
Thank you also to the parishioners who supported us this year through your prayers and donations.
Finally, we are so grateful to for the Catholic Education staff who always come through when help is needed. This program would not be the same without all of your assistance. Thank you to Christina, Dan, Debbie, Lynda, Mike, and Gretchen.
With appreciation for all of God’s blessings,
Heidi Sutt and Margaret Terrill, TRUE NORTH VBS Coordinators
