Rocky Railway Vacation Bible School
July 27-31, 2020
10:00-12:00 Noon
Due to safety issues associated with COVID19 we will be doing different styles of VBS this year. Parents will be able to choose 1) VBS On-line with a "crew" leader and a small live-video "crew", or 2) Backyard VBS with 5-8 children in small, mixed-age group, face-face crew meetings in various backyard locations. We will follow CDC and state guidelines to try to keep children safe in all face-face locations, but parents should recognize that the on-line option has the least risk of transmission of the virus. All of the children who are registered for either program (on-line or backyard) will receive a fun, free, VBS "tool" kit with engaging materials to support their VBS experience. We are trying to make VBS as fun as possible under the current challenging circumstances. As always, we want children to know that God loves them and they can trust Him.
So.....Climb aboard for mountains of fun at Rocky Railway Vacation Bible School. On this faith-filled adventure, kids will explore Jesus' power in them and how we can trust Jesus--not our own strength--to pull us through life's challenges. This summer, more than ever, kids need the hope, reassurance, and abundance of God's love. Bible points each day at Rocky Railway are relevant for their lives:
1) Jesus' power helps us do hard things. Trust Jesus!
2) Jesus' power gives us hope. Trust Jesus!
3) Jesus' power helps us be bold. Trust Jesus!
4) Jesus' power lets us live forever. Trust Jesus!
5) Jesus' power helps us be good friends. Trust Jesus!
Each day's lesson will be re-enforced through silly skits, Bible stories, up-beat music, and sciency-fun gizmos for hands-on learning. At Rocky Railway we have just the ticket for letting the good times roll!
Registration deadline: July 13th. Sooner is even better. We need time to arrange crew assignments and we need to know how many of each program to plan for. We need time to prepare the correct number of tool kits. On July 20th, we will host a tool kit pick up from 10:00 to Noon at Riverside Chapel. It will be a drive through event. You won't have to get out of your car. A masked and gloved volunteer will check to see that your kids are registered, hand you your materials, give you your crew assignment and directions, and off you go. If you can't make the pick-up times, please call Carol, 218-744-5392, and we will work out something. Your child should bring the kit with him or her to the assigned backyard VBS, if that was your choice. Please mark these dates on your calendar--July 13th Registration Deadline; July 20th Drive-through Kit Pick-up; July 27-31 Vacation Bible School. These dates are very important this year. Register here by clicking on the button below or call Roberta at 218-929-3334. If you have any questions, call Carol, 218-744-5392.
Crews will not be meeting at the church or on the church grounds. You will receive instructions for finding your backyard VBS location. If you are choosing the 0n-line VBS, please make sure to put your e-mail address on the registration form. You will receive step by step directions for navigating the on-line program. We will try to make it easy.
Children must be at least 4 yrs. of age by July 13th to participate in this VBS. The oldest students we will accept are those who just completed 6th grade. All children are welcome. You don't have to attend church regularly or at all. You don't have to live locally, but if you need us to mail you a "tool" kit, you will have to pay for the shipping.
