A Different Approach

Hello Emmanuel,

July 18th is Vacation Bible School.  July 17th at 5:30 is the set-up for VBS.  We need help.

I’ve received a few questions regarding the move to have a 1-day VBS.  Many of us are used to the week-long VBS.  There are not really any strong reasons to go one direction or the other.  Beth and I felt it worth it to try the 1-day to see if there is any difference in response, both from the community as well as from the church.

July 18th is going to be a family-oriented VBS.  Parents, grandparents, etc; are encouraged to participate with their child for the one day.  One-day VBS’s are becoming a small trend among churches as it also decreases the commitment and resources needed to pull it off while still creating an outreach ministry that invites community participation.

As some of you know, I’m not afraid to experiment.  Beth isn’t afraid either.  It’s what makes us a dangerous duo.  I feel it important to tweak things every now and then to see if we aren’t missing important opportunities.  Sometimes we find out that we are.  Sometimes not.  Either way we can evaluate and plan for next year accordingly.

Set-up for VBS is Friday at 5:30.  If you can’t help on Saturday, consider showing up on Friday to see how you might be able to lend a hand.  Or if you have more questions, you can call Beth Pollitt at 404-9360 or you can call me at 833-5219 (though Beth probably has more answers).

Help us continue to show the community that our doors are open and they are welcome to come in and be a part of what we do:  sharing Good News of God.

God is Good,

Pastor Joe
