VBS is a big deal. It provides us a unique opportunity to spend 5 days teaching Biblical Truth. Many of the children who will come to VBS do not regularly attend church anywhere. The teaching they receive during this week is often the only Biblical teaching they get. This year’s curriculum focuses on uncovering counterfeit gods and identifying the one true God. We will spend the week learning about our God – the one true God.
This year’s VBS is much earlier than previous years. It will be June 9-13th and is from 9am to Noon each day. There are several ways you can help with VBS.
- Pray. When you realize the magnitude of VBS, it should make prayer a priority. Pray for VBS. This is one way that every one of us can help. Pray for the children. Pray for the workers.
- Bring Children. Bring your children to VBS. Bring your grandchildren to VBS. Bring your neighborhood children to VBS.
- Bring Cookies. It takes mountains of cookies. Such a small thing puts such a large smile on each child’s face. Cookies (store bought and homemade) can be brought to the Fellowship Hall kitchen.
- Bring Yourself. It takes tons of workers to adequately staff our VBS. As I write this, we still need workers in the following areas:
- Nursery – We need nursery workers everyday to watch the small children of our workers.
- Preschool – Not every church invites preschool-aged children to their VBS. We do and this area is always packed with children. We still need many workers to help with these 3, 4, & 5 year old children.
- Team Leaders – We still need a few Team Leaders for our VBS. Each team leader is responsible for a group of roughly 8-10 children. They lead them around to the various stations (snacks, Bible time, crafts, game time, etc.). The Team Leader plays an important role and generally develops the closest relationships to the children.
So, remember, VBS is a big deal. Resolve today that you will be a part of it. Don’t ignore it. Determine how you can help. Use the top link below to register children for VBS and use the bottom link to sign-up as a volunteer.
If you have any questions about VBS, feel free to contact me through this link. I would be happy to answer any of your questions.
That’s all for today. Have a great weekend!
