Welcome VBC Team!

Greetings VBC Team! It's almost time for adventure at Camp Firelight!


A reminder that camp meets June 24-June 28. Campers will start arriving as early as 8:50 and will be picked up at noon. Please plan to arrive by 8:30 on Monday, June 24th for our first day.

To get ready for the week, please plan to watch the training video(s) below, attend in-person training, or make arrangements to meet with me. For in-person training, those working at stations will be dismissed early when we shift our focus to small group leaders. Dates and video links are below. If you prefer in-person training and cannot attend one of the scheduled sessions, let me know and we can find another time to meet up.

TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES:

IN PERSON

  • Sunday, June 9, 11am-11:30/11:45.  If anyone would like to train after 11am worship, I would be happy to meet with you. Unfortunately, I am teaching and unable to meet after the 8:30 worship service.
  • Other time as arranged with Becky Ericson

VIDEO LINKS


*I did not use as many props this year, so the videos are mostly verbal. Several of the resources I reference are available on the websites below.


WEBSITE

All of the leader guides, daily plans, and other resources that are in your leader binder can be found on the sites below so you can access them at home or pull it up on your phone while at VBC. Station assistants: your leader will direct you on the plans for each day. Not all of the activities in the big curriculum books are being used.

ADDITIONAL DATES:

Wednesday, June 26: Pizza in the Coffee Bar area! Look for an order form on Tuesday. Take it to go or stay and put your feet up for a bit! The pizza may be located somewhere else until most campers have cleared the building - we'll let you know that week.


Sunday, June 30: There is only one worship service at 10am. We will be recognizing Pastor Nancy and VBC will be leading the worship service. I will be guiding the sermon, utilizing our theme and Bible stories from the week. We hope to have donuts in the coffee bar area after worship.


Sunday, June 30: Pool party at the Shawnee North Aquatic Center from 7-8:30pm.

Finally, I will email out a list of our volunteer team soon and will continue updating the documents on the website above.

Let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to seeing you soon!!
