Taylorsville United Methodist Church will hold its Vacation Bible Camp from July 26 to 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. each day.

The camp is based on the Israelites escape from Egypt and their adventures as they pushed toward the promised land. Bible camp tribes will experience some of the same trials in the "Wilderness Escape" program and learn to trust God. Pack up and saddle your camel as we follow Moses to the Promise Land!
