Friday
Wow! What a great week of VBS. Thank you to everyone for the many ways you served, gave, cared, and more! We may never know the lasting impact VBS had on the lives of the children that attended. Through your dedication the Gospel was shared and shown to so many.
Also, thank you to everyone that was able to help with clean-up this afternoon. That process may have been the quickest ever.
Attendance Total: 353

What a great day we had today! Thank you to everyone for your hard work!
Attendance Total: 374
Counseling Room: Today in 2nd - 6th Grade Bible Study, kids had an opportunity to respond the Gospel. We had the opportunity to share with around 25 kids today. Please pray as we follow-up with those families.
Pizza Lunch: Tomorrow after dismissal, all VBS Leaders and their families are invited to a pizza lunch in the Fellowship Hall.
Clean-Up: We would love your help cleaning up after lunch! Below are a few details about that process.
All spaces used for VBS will need to be reset for Sunday services.
Please be careful taking things off of the walls. We want to make sure not to damage any paint.
There are a couple of churches that would like to re-use our material and decorations.
Things that are being saved will go to the “Meeting Room” in the corner of the upstairs Kids Ministry area.
If you have a question, please ask a member from the VBS Team.
Wednesday
Hello leaders! Thank you for another great day at VBS! I hope everyone is able to get some rest this evening.
Attendance Total: 367
Rotation Update:
Recreation & Snack: They should be outside again for Thursday.
Music: Will probably be in the Fellowship Hall again on Thursday.
2nd - 6th Grade Bible Study
On Thursday when these grades go to Bible Study, they will have an opportunity to respond the the Gospel. Our Bible Study Rotation team will share how kids can have a relationship with Jesus. Kids that are interested will be able to head to a separate room for further conversations. If you have kids from your group that go, it would be great for one leader to go back with that group.
Tuesday
Thank you to everyone again for another great day! It is hard to believe that we are almost at the halfway point!
Attendance Total: 377
Rotation Update:
Recreation & Snack: Hopefully Recreation & Snack will be able to meet outside tomorrow. If so, please use the Canopy Entrance to enter and exit.
Music: There is a slight chance that the Music Rotation will move locations. There have been some issues with the air conditioning in that room that will hopefully be resolved soon. If there is a change, we will announce it in the opening Worship Rally.
Friday - Pizza Lunch: We will order pizza tomorrow. Please make sure to turn in your pizza form so we can prepare for that order.
Monday
Thank you to everyone for a great first day! We appreciate everyone’s flexibility in moving Recreation and Snack inside. More than likely, those two rotations will be inside again tomorrow.
Attendance Total: 345 (Kids, Preschool + Leaders)
Check-Out Procedure: Thank you for all of your help during Check-Out today.
Friday - Pizza Lunch: On Friday we will be serving lunch in the Fellowship Hall for all VBS Leaders and your families. To help prepare for that, please make sure to turn in your Pizza Card at the Leader Station in the Main Lobby. You should find that card in your VBS Leader Folder.
If you have any questions, please contact Adam Pharris at apharris@stevensstreet.org.
VBS Leader Online Training
Step 1: Read the VBS Leader Handbook
Please take time to check out all of the information in the VBS Leader Handbook.
Step 2: Watch the VBS Leader Training Videos
Please watch each of the 5 Training Videos. You can watch them all at one time, or feel free to space them out.
Step 3: Background Check + Child Safety Training
All VBS Leaders (18+ years old) are required to complete a Background Check and a Child Safety Training. We have partnered with Ministry Safe to help with this process. If you have already completed this because you serve in the Preschool, Kids, or Student Ministries or another ministry opportunity, you do not need to complete it again.
If you need to complete them, you will receive two separate emails from Ministry Safe. Please complete them as soon as you can. The Child Safety Training will take approximately one hour to complete. The Background Check and Child Safety Training are valid for two years.
Step 4: Training Completion Form
After you have read through the VBS Leader Handbook, watched all five Training Videos, and completed the steps through Ministry Safe (if necessary), please fill out the Training Completion Form.
