Christian Olympics VBS
The summer Olympics may be in London, but kids can enjoy all the excitement and fun of Olympic sports right here in Stow as they learn about Jesus Christ’s love.
“Christian Olympics” vacation Bible school will be held at Stow Presbyterian Church, 4150 Fishcreek Road, Sunday, June 10, through Thursday, June 14, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The program is free and open to all children in the community ages K-6th grade.
“Christian Olympics” includes Olympic-themed games, Bible lessons, snacks, music and more.

“VBS is always an awesome week at our church,” said Pastor David Weyrick. “The program takes over our entire building and grounds and there’s just kids everywhere. They’re having fun, singing, making friends, and getting excited about God. It’s amazing.”
Children’s Director Monica Albright said connecting VBS to the summer Olympics was a deliberate choice.

“The kids will come to our program and make connections between sporting events and Christ’s love,” she said. “Then later in the summer, they’ll perhaps watch some of these same events on TV during the Olympics and be reminded of those connections.”
Registration for “Christian Olympics” is available at the church or online at www.stowpres.org. For more information, contact Mrs. Albright at 330-688-6935 or monica@stowpres.org.
