Children in TK or Kindergarten should be brought to their classroom in the main sanctuary building for their opening and gathering time. The main sanctuary building is the building on the hill with the really cool playground! Enter through the playground entrance and go to the floor above you to get to the kindergarten rooms. Take them directly to their classrooms.

Please plan on an early dismissal for TK/Kindergarten children on Friday, June 24 at 11:40 a.m. This allows our kindergartners to join in on the celebration at the Family Life Center at 11:45 a.m.
Children in grades 1-4 will be outside each day for Cave Quest Games. Please put sunscreen on prior to coming to VBS and wear sneakers to play on the hard pavement.
Don’t forget to say thank you to one of our many VBS crew volunteers. Without each of them—over 125—this awesome week wouldn’t be as awesome as it is!

Our Mission Focus this Year: Samaritan’s Feet
We are excited to bring Samaritan’s Feet to our VBS this year. Samaritan’s Feet shares hope
with children in the U.S. and around the world by washing their feet, giving them a new pair
of shoes, and sharing a message of Hope and Love that Jesus Christ gives to us. Will you
join me in donating any size tennis shoe and a pair of socks? Your donations can be
brought the Family Life Center and/or the Main Sanctuary building during the
week of VBS.
To learn more about this awesome organization, visit www.samaritansfeet.org.
Our Amazing 5th Graders
Ms. Heather Brown is once again leading our 5th graders on a week of mission work throughout
the area. Each day will be a little different and will include creating something to bring with them
as they visit different organizations. A complete list of day to day activities will be emailed shortly.
Ms. Brown will be accompanied each day by other adult volunteers well as a few of our youth
volunteers. We are so excited to see how God will bless this group throughout the week as well as
the people of our area.
Children should bring a water bottle each day with their name marked clearly on the outside.
We’ll provide a snack. Extra money will be needed on Friday as the kids head to Sports Connection.
Snacks at VBS
Here is our snack schedule for the week. We will make sure that every snack we have listed is peanut free and
comes from a peanut free facility. If there is an item listed that your child may not have due to food dye
allergies, gluten allergy or other allergy, please plan on sending a snack in for that day. Mark your child’s
name on the outside of the snack item and give to your child’s crew leader. We will also serve lemonade
and water each day.
