VBS Info Page - Church of Southland

 Dear Parents,
At Everest VBS, kids will embark on the coolest adventure of the summer! Everest VBS is filled with incredible Bible
learning experiences for kids to see, hear, touch, and even taste! Sciency-Fun Gizmos, team-building games, cool Bible songs,
and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. (Everything is hands-on so kids might get
a little messy. Please send them in play clothes and safe shoes!) Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in
everyday life—something we call “God Sightings.” Get ready to hear that phrase a lot!

Biography of Jana Alayra:
Jana Alayra is an artist with whom many can identify. She is a wife, mother, and friend, busy with the daily routine of tending to the lives of
her three daughters and producer husband, Ron. Together, Ron and Jana also answer the call to a unique ministry of leading worship, both
to adults and children. Whether leading a small group with her guitar, or singing for a thousand children and their families, Jana's enthusiasm
and love for Christ are evident, sincere and inspiring. When people leave one of Jana's concerts or testimonials, they often say that not only
were they entertained and encouraged, but they felt they made a new friend. Jana shares openly about the pain and sorrows in her life, as
well as Christ's victory through it all. Her humor and hope are truly encouraging. Hers is a unique ministry of sorrow, celebration, and faith.
To know her story and to watch her lead people in praise is a true testimony of God's power and faithfulness.
