VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Food Truck Party VBS invites children to get on a roll with God as a parade of Food Trucks rolls into their neighborhood for the summer’s biggest party! Using Matthew 6:11; “Give us this day our daily bread,” children are invited to pray as Jesus teaches. These words serve as a reminder that everything we have comes from God – and our daily needs are met by God. Through stories in both the Old and New Testaments, this VBS opens kids’ eyes to the countless ways God provides, loves, and cares for us while inviting them to join God in providing, loving, and caring for others. The goal of Food Truck Party is to help children build on the practice of using daily prayer to turn to God for their needs – and also to serve as the hands of God in ensuring that the needs of others are met.
Food Truck Party VBS will be held June 20-24, 2022 from 9:00am-12:00pm at JupiterFIRST Church (1475 Indian Creek Parkway, Jupiter, FL 33458). Kids must be 4 years old (by June 20, 2022 and fully potty trained) through completing 5th grade to participate. Volunteers are needed, too (6th grade completed through adults).
The cost for VBS is $60 per child. The cost covers a VBS t-shirt, snacks, station materials, and more. The registration fee for additional children from the same household is $50 per additional child. Please note – your VBS registration is not complete if you haven’t completed your registration form(s) and payment(s).
***Registration is currently FULL for all age groups. If you would like your child to be on our waiting list, please email marthe@jupiterfirst.org in case any spots open up.***

Meet Lori
LMHC, CNHP
Lori’s Story
Hi, I am Lori Oberacker-Pardue. I have been a member of JFC for over 30 years. My roots grow deep here. My three children, Marc (age 32), Hana (age 31), and Luke (29) grew up in this church. I met my husband, Jack Pardue, here as well. My mother, Marie Oberacker, is also a long-time member..
As much as my family is a part of JupiterFIRST Church, the church is part of my family. My kids participated in Sunday School and Youth Group growing up and Hana was even the Interim Director of Youth Ministries for a year. My husband, Jack, is a member of the JupiterFIRST Singers. Me, well, I have worn many hats over the years – all very fashionable, of course.
What you can expect Sunday mornings
