NEW THIS YEAR: This year we will be offering VBS Extended Care! 
Extended care time will be devoted to diving deeper into our “Roar Africa” theme.  All kids that register for extended care will need to bring a sack lunch each day.  There will be time for play, games, crafts, drum circle lessons, cooking/baking, service projects and more! 
Extended care will be on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12:00-2:30.  There is no extended care on Friday. Sign up is for all 4 days. The cost for extended care is $50 in addition to the VBS registration fee.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Site Leader Teams:  Bible story / Kidvid Cinema / Snack / Crafts / Games/ Preschool program
Each site needs some energetic, fun teens and adults to make the experience exciting and meaningful for the kids. We make it easy, so sign up now to help out!  We can even support a job share if you are available for only a few days.

Crew Leaders:
Help lead a small group of kids through the sites each day, buddy style. With one day of training (Sunday, June 3, 4:00 p.m.), you'll be fully prepared to enjoy your week at VBS. Even better, find a friend and sign up together! Make a difference this summer and earn community service hours at the same time!
​
Decorating Team:
Help us create an amazing space for our VBS!  It's going to be wild!  Join us on our optional decoration making days on June 4-6, 11am-3pm, in the Fellowship Hall to make props. Wear grubby clothes and feel free to bring snacks. Help decorate rooms and the sanctuary on June 9 (worship at 9:30am, decorating at 11:45). What goes up must come down, so we'll have an "undecorating" party after the end of VBS, starting at 12:30 p.m. on June 14 (lunch provided).
