With less than eight weeks until the start of Vacation Bible School, we are in the midst of recruiting volunteers and signing up children. Here’s some information on how you and your family can be involved at this year’s Summer Seaquest:
Call for Adult Volunteers
Interested in serving? The commitment for VBS is only 8:30-noon each day. Here's a list of our current adult volunteer needs:
- 11 elementary small group leaders
- 10 preschool lead teachers*
- 14 preschool small group leaders
- 2 craft helpers
- 2 mini-VBS helpers (caring for children 2-3 years of age)
- 2 recreation helpers
*You must be a member to be a preschool lead teacher, but if you’ve been attending Parkside for at least six months, you can serve in any of the other roles. Adults may sign up online or stop by the VBS table by Fellowship Hall.
Call for Youth Volunteers
- 5 recreation helpers -- stop by the VBS table to sign up
Call for Actors
- SKIT TEAM MEMBERS: If you’re interested in being a part of the skit team, are in high school or older, and can commit to rehearsals and the entire week of VBS, we invite you to try out for our skit team. Auditions will be held May 15 from 4:30-6:30. Register in advance online.
Interested in Sending Your Child to VBS?
- The cost is $8/child or $24 max/family (must be in same household) You can register online or in person by visiting the VBS table by Fellowship Hall.
- NEW FOR 2011: For every paid registration, ONE non-Parkside friend can come for free! This is an EXCELLENT opportunity for evangelism, and we hope that many will take advantage of it!
- VBS MATERIALS PICK-UP: For those children who register by June 10th, they may pick up their materials in the Commons on Sundays, June 12 & 19. Early registration allows parents to know in advance where to take their children on the first day of VBS.
- DID YOU KNOW REGISTRATION FOR VBS DOESN’T CLOSE? While we encourage you to register children in advance, we accept new children even during the week of VBS!
Other Ways to Help
Can’t participate the week of VBS? Here are some ways you can still be involved:
- Prayer Team: Commit to praying for the needs of Vacation Bible School up to and during the week of June 20th
- Set-up Crew: Sunday night, June 19, immediately following the evening service
- Clean-up Crew: Friday afternoon, June 24, 12:00-2:00 pm
