Invite a Friend to VBC!
Each summer children ages 4 through grade 5 have the opportunity to hear excellent teaching from God’s Word during a fun-filled week. A central Bible theme, combined with an "adventure" theme make for an exciting week of evangelism and discipleship. Meaningful music, creative crafts and super skits are just some of the great activities children enjoy as they learn what it means to have faith in Christ.
Parkside kids—invite your friends to VBC! A PERSONAL invitation is the BEST invitation. Each paid registered child can invite unlimited friends for FREE! Every child must be registered-- even “FREE” Friends. Friends should be VBC-age (4 years old-5th grade). The cost of VBC is $8/child and scholarships are available. Contact Kelly Coy at vbc@parksidechurch.com for more information.
Registration Reminders:
VBC Kids' Pre-registration Facts
- Pre-registration is open through noon on June 9.
- After June 9, children may be registered the entire week of VBC at the desk in the children's wing. We never turn any child away--even on the last day!
- Registration is $8/child or $24/family. Scholarships available--contact vbc@parksidechurch.com.
- Once children are pre-registered, you will receive an email confirmation and a link to invite friends for FREE. There is no limit to the number of friends your child may invite.
- Pre-registering means no waiting in long lines at VBC!
- Pre-registering allows you to pick up your child's materials in advance on Sundays, June 4 or June 11, after any MORNING service. This provides you with all the information you need about your child's group, drop-off location, etc. Your child will get his/her journal and music CD to begin preparing for VBC week in advance.

Brenda Ziska in Vienna, Austria
Brenda is thankful for prayer for their Easter service. It was well-attended. Brenda was really happy that a man who had been a very good friend of Joe’s came, though his wife was sick and could not attend. They haven’t visited church since Joe died. His son, who had been attending the evangelistic study, has become a Christian. Please pray for the summer team that will be working in Klosterneuburg from May 18-31. Pray also for their May 25 outreach, their Zumba workout classes, upcoming community service afternoons, and an American outreach breakfast for youths.
