Dear Peace Families,
VBS Begins Monday, and it’s going to be a STELLAR week at Peace!
We have 57 children between Peace, Community of the Cross, and the Bloomington community who will be attending VBS at Peace! And to make VBS happen, we have 35 volunteers helping throughout the four days!
“Stellar” is our outer-space-themed curriculum that rockets kids on an out-of-this-world adventure and is full of faith-building fun. Throughout the week, students will travel with their crews to different stations that help kids to grow personally, relationally, and spiritually.
- During our opening and closing sessions, we worship with upbeat songs that have lots of actions and talk through our Bible Point of the day.
- Awesome Bible Adventures is where kids are immersed in engaging Bible stories.
- Inventive crafts and creative experiments take place at the Imagination Station.
- Kids experience the Bible Point first-hand while playing and doing team-building exercises with their crew at All-Star Games.
- At Kid Vid & Service, crews will watch a video that helps apply the Bible Point to their daily lives, and then they will complete a meaningful service project.
Each of these activities will help teach us and show us how to Shine Jesus’ Light!
For everyone participating as a volunteer or participant, here are a few final instructions:
- VBS Kids, after worship this Sunday, June 25, stop by the VBS table in the narthex to pick up your crew assignment and t-shirt. Please wear your t-shirt each day of VBS!
- VBS Volunteers, if you have not yet attended a mandatory volunteer training session, the last one will be offered on Sunday at Peace at 10:45am.
- VBS Volunteers, plan to arrive at Peace Monday morning by 8:30am. Park in the lower parking lot (we’ll be using the upper lot for games).
- Parents, you may bring your children to Peace starting at 8:40am on Monday morning to check in and pick up a t-shirt if you have not yet received one. You’re welcome to join the kids at 11:40am for the closing program before we end the day at noon. Please be on time for pickup.
It’s going to be a STELLAR week, and we are so grateful to everyone who is helping to make it happen–kids, parents, volunteers, church staff members, and all of you who are praying for us.
Shine Jesus’ Light,
Joe
Family Tip of the Week
VBS helps us to strengthen relationships with God, other people in our congregation, and neighbors from around the community. Have a conversation with your family about how you might do these things on a weekly basis.
