Paul and the Underground Church
At Rome, everyone gets to explore first-hand the culture of Paul’s world. They’ll experience the heartbreaking trials, joyous victories, and tear-filled celebrations of this unique Bible hero. God’s Word comes alive as children enjoy traditional Bible-times customs, occupations and even games!

Participant Registration
Volunteer Registration
Please note: ALL adult volunteers must be VIRTUS certified before VBS begins. Certification does take some time, so if you are not already VIRTUS certified, please contact the parish office asap to learn how to get certified. The Diocese of Grand Rapids is committed to protecting the safety of the young people we are entrusted with. In order to ensure that one of the necessary steps is to take a Protecting God’s Children class if you plan to volunteer around youth. Please contact Linda Parks at the parish office at (616)363-6885 to begin the process.
Service hours are available for kids in grades 6 through 12. Children under the age of 18 do not need VIRTUS training.
Donations will help make VBS a success!
Vacation Bible School requires lots of supplies for crafts, activities and props. If you’d like to help out by purchasing some of the needed supplies, we’d greatly appreciate your generosity. All donations need to be dropped off in the parish office by June 26. That will give us time to prepare and make any last minute purchases that are not donated. If you’d rather simply donate Amazon gift cards (any amount), feel free to drop them off at the parish office by June 26. They’ll help with those last minute purchases we may need to make!
Please contact Ivonne Smith (ismith@stjudes.net) with any questions or volunteer inquiries. Thank you!
