Just 144 days or 3,456 hours or ~29,000 episodes of Bluey until the start of this year's Vacation Bible Camp! Beginning on June 23, our congregation will welcome over 150 children to see God at work, experience belonging, and explore faith in new ways. Each year, we select a theme that weaves together an important value of our congregation, core bible stories that define our faith, and the unique learning needs of our youngest members. This year's theme explores God's good creation and our place within it. We will learn about light, water, land, plants, and animals. We will also practice what it means to be caretakers of this beautiful creation.
I can't fully describe the energy that fills the church when children are joyfully singing, enthusiastically exploring, and carefully considering where God is and how God is speaking today, but I hope each of you has the opportunity to experience it in person. If you would like to learn more about VBC and opportunities to help, please feel free to contact me. We'll have meetings for new volunteers in the spring. You can register as a volunteer. Volunteers can commit to helping in a number of different ways: (1) preparation, (2) working with a station/rotation, (3) working with a group of students, or (4) working behind the scenes.
Moreover, if you know someone interested in coming to camp as a camper, please register soon! Camp is already filling up! If you have a potential camper, please register as soon as possible.
Finally, please keep VBC in your prayers. Pray for the students we will welcome, for the discerning volunteers, and for our church to be a place of safety and welcome for all of God's Children.
