Vacation Bible Camp –
Invite a Friend


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, crafts, and 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 8.
     
  • After June 8, children may be registered the 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 are 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.
Why should you pre-register children?
  • 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 3 or June 10, 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.
For more information, please see our VBC FAQ on our website or contact us at vbc@parksidechurch.com.

Attention VBC Workers!

We are still looking for about 12 adult helpers to complete our staffing for Vacation Bible Camp. We are also compiling a waiting list of youth who would like to serve if an opening becomes available. If you can help the mornings of June 11-15, please consider serving. Sign up today at parksidechurch.com/serveatvbc.

Kep and Debbie James in Bolivia
Pray that God will give Pastor Pepe Rocha a deep passion for Christ in his pastoral ministry in the ILC Church in La Paz, Bolivia. Pray that the fruit of this discipleship will be a mature church committed to evangelistic effort taking the Good News of Christ to unbelieving people across Latin America. Debbie and Kep had a wonderful time with the ESI Chile team in the city of Temuco in April. There were 52 facilitators present at the Facilitator Training, and there is great interest in starting new ESI groups in Santiago, Concepcion, and Valparaiso, Chile. Pray for Debbie
