What a blessing it is to have three United Methodist Churches so close together along the Fox River. We are different communities but we are similar because of our shared beliefs and our similar context. We each have our own identity and yet there are some things we want to do together. The challenge is figuring out what to call ourselves when we work as one! That’s why we came up with Tri-City United Methodist. This is the name we use when Batavia UMC, Geneva UMC, and Baker Memorial UMC work together on a shared program, mission or ministry.
Tri-City Methodist Churches will collaborating to host a fantastic VBS Program This Summer!
Ready to cook up some fun? Tri-City Methodist’s Food Truck Party VBS invites children of all ages to get on a roll with God as a parade of Food Trucks rolls into their neighborhood for the summer’s biggest party!
This VBS invites children to pray as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:11; “Give us this day our daily bread.” These words serve as a reminder that everything we have comes from God — and that it’s by turning to God in prayer that all of our daily needs are met.
At the center of the Food Truck Party is a special food truck called “On a Roll.” Here, Kids (or “Chefs”) will learn from the food truck’s Top Chef, along with DJ Cupcake (an adorable cupcake puppet), about the Daily Specials (Daily Learnings), which are lines from the well-loved prayer that teaches us to turn to God to meet our needs.
VBS will be held this year June 24-28, 2024 at Baker Memorial UMC in St. Charles.
