Returning to the Value of Life: An Australian Outback Adventure Awaits at Arbor's Vacation Bible School
Arbor Christian Fellowship's 2026 Vacation Bible School, Zoomerang, invites children entering Kindergarten through 6th grade on an unforgettable Australian Outback adventure where they will discover that every person is wonderfully made in the image of God and every life is precious to Him. Throughout the week, children will open and use their Bibles during age-appropriate Bible studies, sing Christ-centered, Scripture-rich songs, enjoy outdoor games that reinforce daily memory verses, create hands-on crafts, explore real-life missions and participate in engaging science experiments from Answers in Genesis that demonstrate how true scientific discovery aligns with God's Word. Building on last year's archaeological adventure, this year's theme returns children to the timeless truth that God's Word never changes and equips them to stand confidently on a biblical foundation. Vacation Bible School will be held July 20–24, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, with Family Night on Thursday, July 23, at 6 p.m., and the always-anticipated Water Day on Friday. As our church family prepares for this special week, we invite you to pray that every child will hear and receive the Gospel, grow in their love for God's Word and come to understand their God-given value, purpose and place in His kingdom.

From Sacrifice to Service: A Memorial Day Sunday of Remembrance and Missions at Arbor Christian Fellowship
Arbor Christian Fellowship’s Memorial Day Weekend service was a profound time of honor, remembrance, and celebration, as the church paid tribute to fallen heroes, including Army Sgt. R.L. Taylor—whose remains were recently returned home after over 80 years—and U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corporal Bryce William Smith (1995–2015), the beloved grandson of longtime member Beverly Dickson. The service honored Gold Star mother Jamie Luchay, celebrated the return of the church’s mission team from the Philippines, and shared powerful testimonies of God’s miraculous provision and movement overseas. From hosting nearly 200 children and their parents at Vacation Bible School to offering overnight hospitality that led to late-night conversations and prayer, the mission team saw God work in extraordinary ways—reminding all that nothing is too difficult for Him (Jeremiah 32:27).
