What: Bibletimes Marketplace (Ecumenical Vacation Bible School)
When: July 12 – 16, 2010
Where: Epiphany Grounds and Buildings
Theme: “Voices in Exile”

BibletimesAt Epiphany, our Vacation Bible School is known as “Bibletimes Marketplace.” Children (and adults) from Epiphany, Anchorage Presbyterian, and St. Luke’s Episcopal will gather during this week in July to meet with old friends, and make new ones. It is a life-giving, educational experience which inspires and transforms young and old alike.

Bibletimes Marketplace is a carefully thought-out curriculum of six cycles taught in sequence for six summers. This year, we are in cycle “D”, titled, Voices In Exile – “Sing Unto the Lord a New Song!” We learn about the Israelites and the Babylonian exile. We are introduced to Ezekiel, a special person known as a “new prophet.” We talk about Jonah and his interesting travels to Nineveh, as well as Job and his incredible trials. We also learn about Daniel who was chosen to live in a palace, and about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and their miracle in the fiery furnace. Finally, we learn about brave Esther, who helped save the lives of many Jews.

This experience is for all ages. Children who will be entering kindergarten through 6th grade gather in tents as part of a tribal family. Children entering 7th grade and higher can act as a tent aide, craft worker, drama participant, or help with childcare. Adults are needed to participate as tent parents, craft workers, kitchen workers, preschool assistants, or childcare. Our preschool program and nursery are provided for the children of workers.

Registration forms are currently available in the Gathering Area and in the office. Deadline for registration is June 6th. After that date, a late fee is added. Use the registration forms below:
