NOTE FROM MS. KIM: At our last zoom session, several kids talked about playing instruments. I've included the sheet music for the Compassion Camp songs so that they can learn how to play them if they'd like! Check the music section at the bottom of the email.
Compassion Camp - Session 5
Manchaca UMC Virtual VBS 2020
Theme: Compassion gives us a fresh start.
Bible Story: Leviticus 25, Sabbath Year and Jubilee

Through hearing God’s instruction in Leviticus 25, the children will learn the meaning and history of “Jubilee.” Children will see how rest/sabbath, fresh starts, and taking care of one another are all important forms of compassion.

Community Participation
Community is a big part of the VBS experience. We hope that you will share your VBS experience with friends and family while maintaining safe social distancing. Kids can share the video link with friends and they can talk about their shared experiences over the phone. Campers can call grandparents and tell them about what they are learning.
In addition, please post pictures and videos of your experiences at Compassion Camp on social media using #MUMCCompassionCamp . You can also post on our Manchaca UMC Facebook Group page. (This is a closed group open to MUMC members and participants.)

We invite all Compassion Campers to join the ZOOM session on Friday morning at 10:00 am . At this meeting, we will recap what we've learned, sing the song, and let children share their work with others. The Zoom for Session 2 will be Friday, July 31.
Drive-Thru Celebration:
Saturday, August 8, 9-10 am

Compassion-in-Action Mission Challenge
Each week Campers will be sent on a Compassion-in-Action Mission Challenge. This will allow them to act out what they are learning and put it into practice. Campers who complete the challenge will earn a specific button. Campers who complete all 5 challenges will also win a High-5 button. We can know children have participated when they share their work on social media (#MUMCCompassionCamp) or participate in the Zoom time on Friday mornings! Please encourage your children to participate! Buttons will be sent directly to campers when Compassion Camp is over!
