Thank you to those who have already signed up to be a part of Shipwrecked Vacation Bible School (VBS)! It's always so encouraging to see a nice stack of servant sign ups in my mailbox. And it's not too late to sign up for faith-filled fun. If you're wondering if VBS is something you could do, here's a list of requirements:
- Must have a heart for God
- Must have a heart for kids
- Be willing and able to show up either/or June 24-28, 6-8PM; June 25-29, 9-11AM
VBS might NOT be for you if you DON'T like:
- Sharing your Faith in God
- Smiling, laughing, and having fun
- Feeling blessed by the wonderment of children
But seriously, it's my favorite time of year knowing that we get to minister to so many children and families. We have tons of opportunities for you to use your gifts. We need group leaders, registration workers, decorators, cooks, helpers, and station crews for crafts, missions, story, and games and more!
I would also like to highlight our Morning COM session. Each year we also provide this ministry to our Preschool and Elementary kids who are enrolled for the summer. The kids and families are so grateful and look forward to VBS week. The morning session has a completely different feel than the evening session. Everything is just as exciting, but the environment is calmer and the kids are already in a classroom mindset: ready to have fun, but also to learn. If you've ever wanted to help but thought you don't have enough energy for all that... the morning session may be right for you.
If you want to sign up, find a green form in the narthex, or talk to me! Even if you feel like it may be a "Shipwreck" we will always be "Rescued by Jesus!"
Jayné Kirk
Director of Children & Family Ministries

Construction Update
This week the building team has continued to work on the canopy by setting the steel on the pillars as well as setting the trusses. The weather has created a challenge, but they did complete the block wall that wraps around to entrance to the Narthex. They put the finish steps to the second floor of Byrd Hall and will put the finish treads on next week. Upcoming goals are to put the roof on the canopy and remove dirt and prep for concrete under the canopy area. Forward progress to serve in the future.
