A look back at VST Summer School 2026!

Last month, students, faculty, and friends gathered at VST for two weeks of learning and community.

From engaging courses to connections made in and beyond the classroom, we’re grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make this year’s Summer School an enriching experience.

Here are a few moments from our time together.

Gracious God, we lift up the people of British Columbia in this time of crisis.

Protect the families evacuated from Summerland and communities across the province, granting them peace, safe refuge and the sense that they are not alone.

Watch over brave firefighters and first responders on the front lines, giving them strength, wisdom, and safety.

Move us all to generosity and acts of mercy. Renew our hearts to care for your creation and all creatures, and bring comfort to all in need.

In Jesus' name. Amen.
