2016 Next Gen header
Dear families,

In June, all roads lead to Vacation Bible School (as they should!). We are in VBS prep mode each day, every day until the big week arrives.  Passports are being printed, snacks schedules are set, craft materials clutter my office, and backdrops are being painted. In three weeks, we'll be "traveling" each day through new regions of the ancient middle east, following the disciples as they spread the Good News to new places, new people.

A few needs:
1. We have a wonderful number of preschoolers signed up to participate in our VBS program. We still need some Preschool Tribe Leaders to ensure these littlest ones have a fun, safe and meaningful week. 
2. We also need additional adult volunteers to serve as assistant Tribe Leaders for older children. 

Please be in touch if you might be able to help.
Extra youth helpers are also most appreciated.

In shared ministry and VBS joy!

Summer Church School Schedule 
From May 28 to September 3 there is one worship service at 10:00 AM. Nursery for infants-age two is in Room 09.
Children participate in the first part of the worship service. After the Time with Children, they are escorted by parents and  teachers to their classes.  
  • Preschool (ages 3 and 4) in Room 07/08.
  • Rising Kindergarten to Grade Two in Room 04.
Parents pick up children in their rooms on the lower level following the end of the worship service. 

Adult Helpers Needed Each Week - MANY SPOTS OPEN
We need an adult assistant for each teacher - lead teacher positions are filled. We provide a curriculum, a schedule, and support. You provide love for the children of our church and a willingness to try something new. Youth helpers are also welcome to join you in assisting. 

Sign up on the sheet outside the office or on Sign Up Genius .
