Hello VBS 2023 Families!

The clock is counting down and soon it will be time for another fun week of VBS!!!!!  Our heroes should be receiving their hero team assignments in the mail by the end of this week.  If we have not yet received a completed emergency care form for your child then you will find a blank copy of that form along with their assignment. Please be sure to get that form back to us as soon as possible - you can also scan or take a picture of it and email it to me at jrangel@centreville-umc.org.

The VBS fun begins on Monday, July 10th, promptly at 9:30 am in the Recreation and Outreach Center (ROC) located at the far east side of the building (closest to Rt. 28). Doors will open at 9:15 am daily to admit our heroes so parents can be sure to check them in with their Hero Guide each day before the morning assembly begins. Parents, please be on time to pick up your child(ren) when our closing assembly ends at 12:30 pm.

What to expect on Monday, July 10th:

• Please know your child's color group and small group designation- ex. "Pink Providers" - this will help you locate your child's small group leader quickly when you enter Hero Headquarters.

o    First, look for the Color Group's Lightning Bolt Banner, that will direct you to the larger color team.

o    Then look for the hero team symbol which is the first letter of the group name.  So the "Pink Providers" would be in the Pink color group and sitting in the section with the pink "P" symbols.

• Children are encouraged to bring a monetary offering each day to help support our VBS mission project. This year proceeds from our daily offering will go towards purchasing toiletry items for our Grace Ministries program serving low-income immigrant families in our local community.
• Children will receive their VBS t-shirt on Monday right before dismissal.  All children are asked to please wear their VBS t-shirt on Tuesday, July 11th for Picture Day!

Get ready for a week of fun, fellowship and teamwork as we answer the call to serve God together!

See you on Monday!!!!
