God's Big Backyard- Vacation Bible School 2008

Come join us July 14th-18th 2008 for God's Big Backyard!  This year's theme focuses on the importance of service- serving family, friends, neighbors, the community, and Jesus.  During the week the children will hear stories of serving from the Bible and incorporate those stories in their crafts, games, snacks, and music.  Please be sure to join us for a swinging time!

Vacation Bible School 2008 will be July 14th-18th from 9am to noon.  Due to large numbers last year, we are requiring pre-registration.  If you pre-register by May 18th, cost is $5 per child and that includes a white t-shirt for one of the day's crafts and a music CD.  If you register between May 19th-July 13th, cost is $10 per child and still includes the shirt and CD.  No walk-ins please.

We are also looking for volunteers!  Please put your talents to use!  We have several opportunities for volunteering- everything from prep work to leading a group of children.  Our work nights this year will begin Tuesday, May 27th 6-8:30pm.  They will be every Tuesday through July 1st.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Miranda Steffen.
