Summer is quickly approaching and Rosedale is excited to be having Vacation Bible School from Friday – Sunday, July 17-19!

This year our theme is Wilderness Escape: Where God Guides and God Provides.

Wilderness Escape is an exciting journey with God’s people that brings God’s world to life. Children learn to trust God as they join Moses on the incredible journey through the wilderness and discover what it was like to live in the Israelite camp. This ministry will reinforce Biblical truths because the Bible points are carefully integrated into each activity. God’s Word comes alive through interaction with Bible history.

We want to reach as many kids as possible so that they can experience God in their lives.

We need your help to make this a success!

VBS will be for grades Pre-K – 6th grade and our initial plans include:

• Friday: Family Fun Night – Register children for VBS. Have outdoor games and serve hot dogs, chips, desserts & drinks.
• Saturday: VBS will include an opening and closing assembly and five, 30-minute class rotations (Bible lesson, music, craft, recreation and lunch). Plus, a scavenger hunt!
• Sunday: VBS recognition with the children singing a couple of songs during morning worship.

This was one of the ideas that was shared during our recent ‘Dream Meeting.” It takes a church village to host a VBS and make it come alive for these children. Please pray about where you can plug in and serve.  We have numerous volunteer positions that best suit your individual gifts and abilities. A sign-up sheet is posted at The Hub.

Set your GPS for a Wilderness Escape and mark your calendars now (Friday – Sunday, July 17-19) as we embark on an exciting journey that brings God’s Word to life!
