We, as a church, can be a blessing to the refugee families we are in relationship with by putting on a VBS this summer for their kids and ours. This will not only bless the kids, but give the refugee moms a rare and much-needed break!

• Dates: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, July 24-26
• Time: 9am - 12:30pm
• Includes lunch
• For ages 0 - 5th grade

VBS is a WHOLE CHURCH effort (not just the moms!) We need you! Please pray and ask God how He might want you to participate, perhaps even considering taking a day off work or using some flextime to help out. We'll have LOTS of spots for people to help out - interacting with kids, prepping/serving lunch, providing transportation to the refugee kids, etc.

There are many ways to participate this year:

• Love to shop? Help VBS by purchasing supplies. We have a detailed list of what needs to be purchased for a successful VBS. You will be reimbursed for all supplies you purchase.
• Have the gift of hospitality? Greet families as they arrive each day, and help prepare a snack and a meal each day.
• Have a vehicle and willing to help with transportation? We need help transporting refugee families to VBS each day. This could be before or after VBS. Any combination of days would be helpful even if you can’t help every day of VBS.
• Are you crafty? We need 2 volunteers to help run the craft stations for VBS. Supplies will be set up and ready along with detailed instructions for the craft each day.
• Tech savvy? We need a volunteer to help run the overhead and sound during our worship and whole group time.  
• Love having fun and playing games? Each day we have games and activities to support our theme. These stations are always a favorite! Come run around and share God’s love through activity.
• Love children and supporting refugee families? We need group leaders and helpers for all age groups. This is an amazing way to connect with children in our church and the refugee community!
