Wonder Junction VBS

First Baptist Danville

July 7-11, 2025

6-8:30pm 

Kids ages 3* (potty trained) thru 6th grade are invited to hop aboard the train steaming ahead to Wonder Junction.  

Your child will go on an Old West themed VBS adventure that will teach them about who Jesus is as they marvel at his birth, childhood, ministry, death and resurrection, and coming return. It’s all about Jesus and the call for kids to live for his glory!

Kids will find answers to the questions:

• Was there ever a person born who was more important than Jesus?
• What was Jesus like as a child?
• Is Jesus God or man—or both?
• What astonishing things occurred during Jesus’ ministry and how much power does he have?
• How was Jesus’ death and resurrection like no other?
• What should we be doing while we wait for the King to return?

It’s a wild ride designed to help kids better know Jesus, what he did for them, and how we should respond. Wonder Junction is filled with biblical worldview teaching and apologetics, “meaty” truths. They’ll also enjoy lots of fun with games, snacks, crafts, music, drama, missions moments, and more!

Special Pre-K Program!

Littles as young as 3 years old (must be potty-trained) will not only have a blast but benefit spiritually as well. This program is tailored to their needs and wiggles! From their own separate drop-off & pick-up location for added safety, to their own opening and closing programs viewed on-screen to minimize over-stimulation, to their own stations being in close proximity to each other (less travel time), to their own team walking them through their lessons, crafts, etc., your preschooler will be in their element!

Come join our “Live it Out” VBS to learn how to love like Jesus does!  Ages 4-5th grade just completed. The theme is camping.  There will be puppet shows, music, dancing, crafts, games, themed snacks, and Bible lessons.  On Saturday, July 12th at 5:00 pm there will be a camp cookout with roasted hot dogs & s’mores, Kingdom Kidz puppet ministries will perform, and there will be water activities.  Our closing program will be at the church on Sunday, July 13th at 10:30 am.  Come out and celebrate a life lived for, with, and because of Jesus!

young orphan girl living in New York City during the Great Depression. Despite
her harsh circumstances at the Municipal Orphanage run by the tyrannical Miss
Hannigan, Annie maintains an unwavering optimism that she will one day be
reunited with her parents. Her story takes a turn when she is chosen to spend
Christmas at the lavish home of billionaire Oliver Warbucks. Through her
infectious charm and indomitable spirit, Annie touches the hearts of Warbucks and
his staff, leading to a series of adventures as they search for Annie’s parents
and discover the true meaning of family. With its catchy musical numbers,
memorable characters, and poignant themes, “Annie” continues to captivate
audiences of all ages, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, a little
optimism can go a long way. Featuring a 45-member cast of incredible actors

What is JESUS NIGHTS?

A series of evenings on August 14-16 at 6:30pm, designed for the whole community, offered by the church leadership of the larger Milton, PA area. (Location: The Narrow Way Church in West Milton)

The purpose of Jesus Nights is to call people to the feet of Jesus where we believe life change happens. This annual event is built in His presence with speakers & content that draw people/churches to be centered around Jesus instead of empty religion, competitive entertainment culture, programs, or church buildings. It is a call to “full life” in Christ as described in John 10:10 in the Bible.

Our prayer is to demonstrate a biblical model including Christ-centered worship, honest confession, Communion, baptism, healing, and spiritual deliverance.

JESUS NIGHTS KIDS offers an on-site kids program available each evening during Jesus Nights in our main church building assisted by vetted, background-checked leaders/volunteers. These evenings will be fun, safe, and inspiring for all children up through 5th grade. Online pre-registration for kids is encouraged.
