VBS Newsletter

Vol. 4, June 19, 2009

For many months we have been planning, praying and preparing for VBS at FBC, after tonight it will be part of our church history. This week we have experienced some awesome times together. It has been filled with HALLELUJAH MOMENTS, SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS, EXTREME COMPETITION and for some, a SMALL ROOM- FULL OF JOY. We have made new friends, reacquainted with old friends and had time to visit a bit, because you said YES TO VBS! Thank you for giving your time, talents, love and encouragement so that children can know the love of Jesus.

Thursday was our high attendance day and our largest missions offering thus far.
I compared our growth from Monday to Thursday:

On Monday , we had 58 students and 33 workers for a total of 91. Yesterday, we had 73 students and 43 workers for a total of 116.

AVG. ATTN: 109
OFFERING: $187.56 (G) $121.10 (B) $66.45
TOTAL COLLECTED $418.28 (G) $243.74 (B) $174.54

The girls reclaimed the victory but it can change today with a dime, a dollar or a check! Today’s offering will be the final collection for the competition. Thus far, the girls have had more victories than the guys but the spirit of competition has been so much fun and for a worthy cause. Please continue to keep the GWA Ministry in your prayers.

Family night will begin tonight at 7:00p.m. When we leave today, make sure all the students have their crafts bag with them. The bag contains their T-Shirt that they will wear tonight, VBS Certificate and other information regarding our church. The van will run tonight and the pick up time will begin at 6:30 p.m. for those who need transportation. We will line up and march in just as we do each morning and sit on the reserve pews that will be marked. Then we will go through our normal Worship Rally routine. Next, the PK/K group will sing their songs and afterwards the Big Kids will sing; followed by the power point review of the week. We will also collect an offering but it will not be a part of the competition. When the program is complete we will adjourn to the Activities Building for food and fellowship. Don’t forget: Clean up is afterwards…..

If you have VBS reimbursements, please sign your tickets, place in an envelope/ziplock bag, and give to me today or Sunday so that we can close out VBS 2009.

Remember to complete the VBS FEEDBACK and return to me as soon as you can.

If you have any questions or concerns about tonight…..just “track” me down…..
Thanks again for your support and commitment….May our lives always reflect that we FOLLOW, WORSHIP AND LIVE THROUGH HIM!

Together we Serve,
Selina Smith
