Join Us for VBS Travels on Mission Mondays
This summer, in cooperation with Action Ministries’ Smart Lunch, Smart Kids program, we will be taking our Vacation Bible School (VBS) on the road! The program, Smart Lunch, Smart Kids delivers lunches to area children throughout the summer and the mission team will be going to one of the lunch delivery sites to share our VBS program with the children in that community.
The plan is to meet at the church at 11 am in Jenkins Hall, review the materials for the day, gather supplies and depart to one of the Action Ministry lunch delivery locations. Once at the site, the children will rotate through the modules of storytelling, crafts and recreation. The group will return to the church by 3 pm.
Twenty persons each day are needed. Adults, youth and children are all welcomed. Please bring a lunch from home. The mission dates are June 10 & 17 and July 1, 15 & 29. You can sign up for VBS Travels at http://tinyurl.com/vbstravels. Questions, contact Mimi Sanders at mimi_sanders@tfumc.org.
