In honor of the Summer Olympics, this year's theme is "Team Jesus," and the logo reflects the five Olympic rings.

The colors and topics are blue - "The Holy Spirit"; black - "The Death of Jesus"; red - "The Sins of the World; gold - "Sharing the Good News"; and green, "Growing With God."

VBS will open on July 8 with a ceremony, including the lighting of a torch, and a carnival, featuring carnival games with prizes and a dunk tank. Featured snacks will be popcorn, snow cones and cotton candy.

Water Day will take place on Tuesday, July 9. There will be a water slide available, and youngsters will be able to enjoy tie-dyeing T-shirts, playing games and making water balloons.

A field trip to Conoy Park East in Bainbridge is planned for Wednesday, July 10, and on July 11, VBS camp will include time for swimming at the Middletown Swim Club, 1100 N. Union St., Middletown.

The annual VBS talent show will be held on July 12. All children who attended VBS are welcome to participate. A closing program will be held for parents at 2 p.m. Children will sing songs and recap what they learned during VBS. An ice cream social and the awarding of Bibles will follow the program.
