VBS Sneak Preview: Family Night Out, June 11, 2010

WebServant — Sun, 30 May 2010 11:35:48 +0000

We’re excited for VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL!

Join us for our 2^nd Family Night Out at Messiah on Friday, 6/11/10 from 6:30-8:30 PM. This will be another fun evening for families to experience a sneak preview of Vacation Bible School that is planned for July 26^th-July 30^th. We will have pizza and dessert, watch a cool VBS video and make some crafts to help give us that Eqyptian feeling

There is a $20 per family charge that will cover the cost of the pizza. Any remaining money will go into a “donation fund” to offset the costs associated with Vacation Bible School. There will not be a charge to attend VBS, but we will have a free will offering. As in the past, lunch will be served.

At our last Family Night Out, we made lots of colorful decorations to create our Egyptian setting. The results were fantastic banners, hieroglyphics, palm trees, and a sarcophagus. We even wrapped a few mummies that night!

Come join the fun. If you can make it, please call Laurie Craft, 229-5681, with your name and the number in your family so we’ll know how much pizza to order.

Vacation Bible School

WebServant — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 13:17:18 +0000

The planning has begun for our community VBS and we’re deciding between two programs. For one program, we will need a minimum of ten ‘E-Z Up” canopies. If you have one we can borrow for the week, please call Laurie Craft at 229-5681 ASAP so we know if we can pursue this exciting option. The tentative date is July 26^th- 30^th.

The Third Lutheran Church is the host church this summer with Rhinebeck Reformed and Messiah co-hosting. We have had great fun in the past with super kids attending and many, many great teen and adult volunteers helping. In planning your summer, think about being part of VBS…and bring a friend! This is a community Vacation Bible School and all are welcome.

This year we will be the host church for our community VBS which is held each year in partnership with the Third Lutheran Church and the Rhinebeck Reformed Church. The theme is Crocodile dock – Where fearless kids shine god’s light! We will be having fun singing at the Sing & Play Swamp Stomp, playing at Gator Games, learning more about God at Bible Bayou, creating at Crawfish Crafts and going to the Dockside Drive-in and the Firefly Finale. Of course, we will be working on our Kid-to-Kid Mission project where kids help kids in need. We are very excited and hope to have lots of kids share in the fun and fellowship. Lunch will be provided. All are welcome!

Advance registration is requested to help us accurately plan, but it’s not required. We’ve been given a gift, so there is no cost when you register… it’s free! Thank you Rhinebeck Clergy Association. We will have a free will offering in an attempt to help cover our costs. Registration forms are available in the Narthex, at Sunday school, and online here . Once online, you can register a volunteer or participant as well as view volunteer opportunities and watch a sneak preview of what we’ll be doing. It’s that easy!!

Many families take advantage of the Summer Recreation Program located at the Rhinebeck Town Pool. The camp is a full day program. For those families who would like their kids to participate in VBS but have concerns getting them to the park in the afternoon, we will, as a group, walk them to the park each day after VBS. The camp director is aware of our VBS schedule and has agreed to this solution so that the kids can participate in both programs. At registration, please let us know if you would like your child to be walked to the park. There will be a release form for you to sign giving us permission to do so.
