Join us on mission for Jesus - Stellar VBS 2023!

7/20/23 | The Weekly | by Eric Wakeling

    Dear Calvary Family, 

    I wanted to remind you of the fact that VBS is not just a fun week for kids. Our summer Vacation Bible School is literally the most fruitful outreach event that Calvary Church does every year and a big part of discipleship for the next generation. We see more people make decisions to follow Jesus at VBS than anything else we do. 

    So, please join us in the mission to reach young people in Orange County with the love and grace of Christ!

    We’ve already filled all our week-long volunteer opportunities (which is amazing) but you can still help. 

    Here are a few ways you can get involved:

    PRAY! Please be praying now and all week for God to move through VBS. We believe in the power of prayer and we are completely DEPENDENT on God to work wonders this week in the lives of children and our volunteers. 

    GO SHOPPING  You can make a difference and bless the kids and volunteers at VBS by going shopping and donating the items still needed for Monday and Tuesday. You can drop these items off on Sunday morning to help us be ready for the first couple of days.

    Grocery Store:
    150 apples
    20 Boxes of Cheerios - 20.35 oz, 2 count 
    25 Boxes Fruit loops - 20.35 oz, 2 count 
    20 Lucky Charms - 20.35 oz, 2 count 

    Costco:
    10 - Muffins - 12 packs

    Smart and Final 
    10 packs of Cinnamon Rolls - 18 count 
    10 packs of Breakfast Bread 3-count

    SHOP ONLINE  You can check out our Amazon wish list and donate needed items throughout the week. This is so easy! Just click, purchase, and the items will be delivered to Calvary. View Wishlist Here 

    GIVE Your financial gift will be used where most needed, helping to shine the light of Jesus and keep VBS free for everyone to come be part of this fun, faith-building week - Give Online Here

    SERVE Come on Friday and help with the massive clean-up process. This helps so much when the team is exhausted and needs a boost to get home quickly. We especially would love some people who weren’t able to serve all week come to help with this on Friday, July 29 from 12:45-3:00pm. 

    INVITE Tell friends and family about Calvary’s Stellar VBS and to register their kids for an amazing week! You can pick up a stack of invite cards in the Lobby this Sunday and help spread the word. 

    Discover how to register and come be part of the adventure July 24-28 at CalvaryLife.org/VBS 

    Thank you for joining us on mission for Jesus through Stellar VBS 2023!

    May the Lord bless you and keep you,
