Vacation Bible School 2012
June 25-29
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
For children who have completed
Kindergarten through 5th grade
Nursery and preschool VBS available for younger children of volunteers
Volunteer opportunities:
Crew Leaders: adults or teens who have completed at least 9th grade. No advance prep
is required for this job except attendance at a
crew leader training meeting in June. Crew
leaders commit to getting to know the children
in their crews, assisting them as needed at the stations, leading them in discussion as directed
by station leaders, encouraging good behavior, enabling safe travel between stations and praying for the children.
Assistant Crew Leaders: youth who have completed at least 6th grade. Duties are
to assist the crew leader as needed.
Station Leaders: have the opportunity to teach all the children at VBS each day. Each day’s lesson is presented to four different groups of crews as crews and their leaders rotate among the stations. Activities at the craft, drama, games, video and snack stations are all different, so volunteers can teach in their areas of interest. Lesson plans and all directions for each 20-minute activity are provided.
Hospitality Room Assistants: provide refreshments for volunteers to recharge their batteries each morning.
Preschool VBS
Many volunteers are needed to ensure that all
children at VBS learn more of the stories of God,
know the love of Jesus and experience the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit in safety. Nursery
and preschool VBS are provided so that those
who have children younger than kindergarten age
are able to volunteer. The VBS Nursery is staffed
by our Nursery and Mothers’ Morning Out workers and preschool VBS is led by volunteers from the congregation.
Scenes from Pandamania VBS 2011
We learned that God knows us, listens to us and is wild about us by experiencing a number of impactful Bible stories. We imagined what it was like when God created the world, went to sea with Jonah, watched Elisha and the prohets of Baal, rejoiced both at the miracle of Hannah's baby and at the resurrection of Jesus. Our mission project this year was decorating backpacks to send to school children in South America. We added vibrant color with fabric markers and words of encouragement with bookmarks enclosed in the backpacks.
