VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL
Dive deep into God's Word at the Great Bible Reef at Shandon! During Vacation Bible School, children celebrate being God's people through games, songs, crafts, stories and more in a vivid, underwater, coral reef environment. An emphasis on discipleship helps children learn that, as God's people, we care, help, love, trust, believe and listen. VBS is for children four years old through rising fifth graders. We need volunteers to help in all learning centers and in moving children from center to center. We welcome those who can help one day or all days and those who can help with pre-VBS chores. Call Deborah Goodwin 771-4408 or Janet Burts 256-1067 for more information, we are out of registration forms. We also need help collecting items for use with crafts. Things we need include:
• 16 oz. or 1 liter bottles with tops
• large conch shells
• small shells
• assorted clean and dry glass small bud vases,
bottles or jars (vinegar, catsup, interesting shapes!)
• baby food jars with tops
Bring any collectibles to Deborah Goodwin's office.
