LOTS OF GOOD STUFF TO DO!
2008 Vacation Bible School
Parent Letter
July 14th - July 18th
6:30 P.M. - 8:30 P.M.
Dear Parent
Welcome to another year with Lower Valley VBS! We are excited this year to bring you David C. Cook's COSMIC CITY: Explore the Awesome Wonder of God!
Our session runs Monday, July 14th through July 18th beginning at 6:30 P.M and ending with a closing that starts about 8:15 and ends at 8:30 P.M.. After the closing we will not let child leave without a parent or adult to claim them. This is done for safety reasons and there will be NO exceptions, so please make sure there is someone there to meet your child every night
Parents are welcome to stay with us. We can always use some extra hands in many areas. Parents with children in the lapsit program (three or under or still in diapers) are reminded that they need to have someone stay with their child during their time with us to ensure their safety and security.
Each year we have an offering of nonperishable food items to benefit our local food bank as well as a money offering that goes to a charity selected by the VBS Committee. We will again have a "race" between the boys and the girls to see who can raise the most money during the week!
Each year we make a T-shirt as the craft on Wednesday to help them remember the fun they have at VBS all week! Please send a plain white or light-colored shirt with your child's first and last name and last grade completed written in a permanent marker on the label or collar only by MONDAY and make sure they wear clothes they can paint in on Wednesday.
We will be closing our VBS this year with a worship service on Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 11:00 AM. Please make plans to join us no matter what church in the area you attend. We want to come together as a community and celebrate our unity as we worship together showing our community members what our kids have been doing all week. We have a special bonus for every family whose children attended VBS that come to our worship service, you will receive a FREE CD of the VBS music! You are also invited to stay after worship for a pig roast!!!!
Thank you all for your support by PRE-REGISTERING and sending your children, they all have a wonderful time and it is an indescribable experience to see the Word of God reaching so many precious hearts.
Thank you for another fun and exciting year,
