We will have a VBS Kick-off On Sunday, July 9, after church, at 10:45 a.m. Our church service begins at 9:30 a.m. and there is Sunday School for kids if you would like to join us!
At the kick-off, we'll serve Costco Hot Dogs, Chips, Sno Cones, and play a few carnival games, too! You can also pick up your VBS T-shirt on this day! The kick-off should last til about 12:30.
VBS WEEEK REMINDERS:
VBS week is Monday-Friday, July 10-14, 9 a.m. - Noon
We'll ask that all kids arrive at 8:45 a.m. so that parents can first sign them in officially in the main courtyard. Parents will need to sign their kids "In" and "Out" - enter in the main gates into the courtyard and we will guide you to where the drop-off/pick-up point is. Middle Schoolers do not need to signed in - but we will have a check-in roster.
Our VBS will be both indoors and outside. Inside the Sanctuary we'll enjoy opening assembly (songs, skits, & fun) and Music time. Outdoor classroom time will be filled with Bible Lessons, Recreation, and Crafts. Snacks will be served in Fellowship Hall. Please have your kids wear close-toed shoes, or at least sandals that are not slip-ons - so they will not trip during recreation time.
SNACKS
We'll be asking kids to bring their own water bottles again this year. We'll be able to keep them refilled with cold water. Our snacks are nut-free - Here are the daily snacks we will be serving.
Monday: Friendship Mix - goldfish, honeycomb cereal, popcorn, pretzels, and sliced apples
Tuesday: Cheese Sticks and Crackers, watermelon, too!
Wednesday: Muffins w/fruit and maybe yogurt, too!
Thursday : mac and cheese and orange jello!
Friday: Sheet pan Pizza and Brownies
Parents - you can decide if you need to bring a similar snack for your kids if there are additional allergy concerns. There will be a place on the sign-in roster to mark if you brought your own snack. EpiPens will be held in the church office - make sure your name is on it. Please give it to your teacher at sign-in.
MUSIC!
We are excited to have Music Time with the kids -They love learning the songs and dance movements.
We will not be sending out CDs this year - feel free to listen to the Music on our digital files. If you have a music streaming subscription, we have built playlists on:
