Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a joint collaboration between Presentation Parish and Our Lady of the Assumption Parish held at Presentation School for one week in the summer. It is held Monday through Friday from 9am to 12 noon, usually in late July or early August.
The mornings are filled with music, singing, movement, learning, games, snacks – lots of fun -all built around a specific spiritual theme. Each morning begins with singing and learning the theme of the day. Then the kids, who are divided into crews of about 5 kids each, go to different stations during the morning, including snack, Bible stories, games, crafts and adventure theater. Each crew has a crew leader who stays with that crew for the entire week. The crew leader takes the kids to the stations, talks with them about the day’s theme, helps them learn the Bible stories, create the crafts, make and enjoy the snack and learn about Jesus. Each station has a leader (or leaders) who prepare and teach the lesson for each morning. And the morning ends with everyone gathered together for more songs and fun before being sent home. Volunteers are needed as station leaders, crew leaders, preschool helpers, decorations, registration, etc. Some positions can be done ahead of time and the weekend before VBS, including registration and decorations. Other positions require your presence during VBS, so you must commit to being here the entire week of VBS. If you feel you are being called to help with this exciting and rewarding ministry for children, please contact Donna Keane-Mauro at 973-0753 or keanemauro@comcast.net. July 30 – August 3, 2007 |
