Dear Parents,
It is with great pleasure that I would like to announce our VBS plans for this summer. What we are doing this year is called “VBS Trips”. This will be a new program that will engage both kids and parents as we travel together to different activities this summer. These VBS trips will be held on Sunday afternoons and include lunch, a lesson/skit and a trip. Tentatively, the trips will be the SA Children’s Museum, the Zoo, and Morgan’s Wonderland. Since these trips demand constant supervision we require that each kid have at least one parent or guardian attend. Below are the FAQ to give you better understanding of what is going to happen
- Who can come to the VBS Trips?
o VBS Trips is intended for pre K – 5th grade children with assistance from parents.
- Are all children required to have a parent or guardian attend?
o Yes, parent/guardian involvement is required to attend VBS Trips. The reason is, we will be taking trips to very crowded places and would like as many adults to supervise as possible. Also it will be a lot of fun!
- How much will it cost?
o The amazing news is VBS Trips will be FREE for all children that attend. We will also pay for one parent/guardian to attend as well. If both parents want to attend we ask for a small donation to offset the price of the second adult ticket price, one exception below.
- Can I invite the friends of my child?
o Absolutely, we highly encourage you to invite neighbors and family members. We believe this will be a great outreach program. If their parent cannot attend you are welcomed to be their guardian for the trip. If you bring a group of 4 or more we will pay for a second parent or guardian to come with you.
- What are the dates?
o The planned dates are July 6th, July 20th, and Aug 10th.
- What does the schedule look like?
o After Sunday service we will have a lunch followed by a lesson/skit that will explain the day’s theme. Then we will go on the trip and return before 6 pm Sunday night service.
- Can I take my own car if I wish to stay longer?
o Yes, we will be taking the Church Van, if you wish to take your own car to leave earlier, or stay later, then you are more than welcomed to.
- Where are we going?
o Unless something changes we are planned for the San Antonio children’s museum, the Zoo and Morgan’s Wonderland
- This sounds great where do I sign up?
o We will have a sign-up sheet in the foyer. Although it’s not required, each child that signs up in advance will receive a special gift for the trip.
In Christ,
Cody Walton
Children’s Minister
