Ground Hog Meeting

Hello folks,

As crazy as the weather has been it is a good thing we have a reliable forecaster like the groundhog.That's right, Groundhog Day is fast approaching and we will find out how soon we will leave behind the erratic winter and move into a erratic spring!

As Groundhog Day marks the beginning of the end of winter it also marks the first VBS meeting for the year. Our first VBS meeting will be held at my home on Thursday February second at 6pm.

I would like for us to discuss the VBS curriculum for the summer and the format; 3 day or one day. Let's make this our main prayer focus for this meeting and chat about some publicity ideas to celebrate our ten year anniversary.

I look forward to seeing you on Groundhogs Day and if you cant make it please let me know so I can send you the VBS themes and formats we will be discussing.

10th Anniversary!

Break out the balloons, grab the streamers and let the confetti fly because Community VBS is 10 years old this year!

That’s right, ten years of kids, snacks, songs, heat and humidity. Just think if you knew a kid that was in kindergarten when we started they are probably driving now. If you knew a kid who was in 3rd grade back then they are a senior now or already graduated. If you were thirty when you started volunteering at VBS you are now ready for a midlife crisis.
How should we celebrate? I would love to hear your ideas. Please respond to this email or on the blog page with ideas to celebrate this ministry that God has blessed us with.

Let your creative juices flow in spite of the cold. We could have 10 best things about VBS list; we could have 10 worst things about VBS list; we could have a random drawing of 10 kids and give away something during this summer’s VBS; we could have 10 birthday cakes for snacks; we could have a birthday cake food fight (my personal favorite idea); we could give away $10,000 to some lucky volunteer (I guarantee we would have no trouble rounding up volunteers with this idea).

The ball is in your court now. Or, the birthday party is in your court may be a better way of looking at it. Thanks to all of you for being a part of this ministry and special thanks to God for allowing us all to know His son and to partnering with us for over 10 years!
