Vacation Bible School: Peace, Love, & Jesus!

Monday, July 27th-Friday, July 31st; 9 am- noon

Join us for Grace on Main’s groovy VBS week in 2026! We’ll travel back to the 60’s with tie-dye, 60’s slang, and a time capsule full of retro gear as we learn what Jesus taught about love and peace. Can you dig it?! Our Love, Peace, & Jesus VBS program is designed in-house and is sure to be a truly unique and impactful time for the Gloucester community’s children. Classes are available for kids 3 years old and potty-trained through rising 5th graders. Register today to join in on the fun!
