Stellar VBS is Preparing to Launch!

7/12/23 | The Weekly | by Shannon Reese

    Hey Family!

    In about twelve days, we’ll be welcoming hundreds of volunteers and children to participate in this year's Stellar Vacation Bible School!

    At VBS, the gospel is preached every day and lives are changed forever. Kids play, laugh, create, worship, learn about Jesus, learn about missions work, memorize Scripture, and many of them respond in faith to the Good News of Jesus for the first time. Can it get more exciting than that?

    Just this week, I’ve heard from volunteers who want to serve all week because VBS impacted their lives as children. I’ve heard from new retirees who are excited and now free to serve our kids on campus. I’ve heard from families bringing their children with special needs because of our VBS BRiDGE program where they can learn about Jesus in a quieter environment created just for them. And, I’ve heard from joy-filled parents whose children are living for Jesus today because of the decisions they made to follow Him at a past VBS.

    Don’t you want to participate with us in this life-changing week? If the answer is YES!, do one or more of the following:

    • Pray with us for life change as kids hear the story of Jesus and are given the opportunity to follow Him.
    • Donate by purchasing supplies in-person or online. Pick up donation cards in the lobby on Sunday or order today directly from our Amazon Wishlist. You can also give towards VBS online.
    • Register to volunteer! Then join us at one of our required upcoming trainings this Sunday, July 16 at 12:30 pm or Monday, July 17 on Zoom. (More details provided during registration.)
    • Register your kids and bring them to VBS each day. If your child would be blessed by BRiDGE VBS, complete the main registration and let us know. We’ll email you a link to take the next step.

    We believe God is going to do such incredible things at VBS that we have already planned a service to celebrate! Bring your families and join us for an All-Family United Sunday on July 30 at 10:00 am with English, ASL and Spanish together in the Worship Center. Stay afterward for a Party on the Patio, where you can enjoy food and fun while meeting some of our VBS characters and connecting with new friends.
