VBS update

Boys and girls, Hit the Trail and take the VBS Challenge! We want you to invite your friends to VBS this summer. You can pick up as many VBS registration fliers as you want at the Welcome Desk at church and use them as invitations to give to your friends.

Reminder: VBS will be Sunday to Thursday, August 5-9 from 6:30-8:30 PM. This year VBS will be open to any families who wish to have their preschool thru Kindergarten children attend. Any children born before September 1, 2009 thru entering Kindergarten in fall 2012 are welcome to join us for preschool VBS.

Our tradition of Giving Near and Giving Far will continue this year. This year for Giving Near we encourage boys and girls to bring in non-perishable food items for the local food-shelf. We will be giving out more details on what to bring at a later date. For Giving Far we will be collecting money to donate to Global Fingerprints for their School Toolz initiative. More information about School Toolz can be found at www.efca.org/vbs. We are excited to see how God will work through each one of the boys and girls attending Son Rise National Park VBS this summer!

Registration for VBS is open now. You can register online at www.ssefc.org under the Children’s Ministries/VBS tab or you can pick up a form at the Welcome Desk. If you are a VBS team member and have children who will be attending please make certain you register them.

If you are interested in serving at VBS, please contact Jeff Larson at jeff@ssefc.org. We are in need of a leader for our Busy Beaver Crafts. We are also collecting empty paper towel rolls to be used for one of our crafts. Please drop them off in the box marked by the Welcome Desk. Thank you!

We are looking forward to a cool, cool summer of learning about God, the one who, “will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus,” (Philippians 4:19).
