It’s easy to get lost. That’s why we need Jesus!
To make it through this unknown world safely, kids need a guide who can keep them on the right path. At Rainforest Explorers, learn how Jesus is our ultimate guide in the rainforest and our lives. He leads us to the treasure of eternal life, and He’ll never leave us!
St. Paul Lutheran is having VBS this year
Monday, August 10, 2020 to Friday, August 14, 2020 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
VBS 2020 Rainforest Explorers
Hello everybody! I am so excited for VBS this year as we learn that Jesus Leads the Way!
Due to Covid-19, we will be doing things a little differently. As of writing this at the end of June, our County is still in Phase 1 of reopening. If we continue to hold in Phase 1 our VBS will take place online. We are currently working on what that will entail. We are hoping to have a live event each day.
If we transition into Phase 2 by August 1, 2020, then we will have VBS in person! Once in Phase 2, our plan is to only have 50 registered participants and around 20 volunteers. We will follow the guidelines set out for us by the Governor for summer day camps and do the best we can to share the Love of Jesus with all who attend. I won’t bore you all with an avalanche of details at this time. Just know that our VBS team has all the details well in hand through the grace of God.
For our volunteers – we need 5 adults and 5 teens to be group leaders and helpers. We also need help leading each rotation station too. If you are interested in volunteering but aren’t sure what you can do, just call or email me! I know many of you who normally volunteer are in the ‘high-risk’ demographic, please only volunteer if you feel comfortable doing so. Your health and safety are too important to risk this year.
God always provides for our needs. He will provide volunteers for us too! There is one huge thing everyone can do for us – PRAY! The power of prayer is undeniable! Thank you for all your support and dedication to making VBS happen year after year. God Bless you all!
