Many volunteers are needed for VBS on July 25-29. There are opportunities to serve by helping prepare supper meals for all volunteers and families, helping with registration, helping prepare and serve snacks, helping with games and crafts, being part of the drama team, helping with decorating, and caring for little ones in the nursery. Another opportunity to serve at VBS is to volunteer to be a group leader (a camp counselor) who guides groups of children through each center during the evening. All camp counselors are encouraged to attend an information meeting on July 6 at 7:00 PM. These volunteer opportunities are offered to youth and adults--women and men. Those who volunteer at VBS should be available from 5:45-8:45 each evening. Check the VBS link on this website to find a complete listing of all the volunteer needs. |
