Volunteers who bring your own children to VBS- We are so excited to have some of our own kids mixed in with the kids from the Mobile Home Park! However, in order to help us plan, please return your paper form to me ASAP. If you didn’t get one, let Jen know.
Advance Notice for Elementary and PreK/K Crew Leaders - You will be eating dinner on the ground with your Crew of about 5 kids and your assistant. We recommend that you bring along an old tablecloth or sheet to place on the ground for your crew to sit on during dinner and the Bible story.
