Want to invest your time and energy into something with a lifelong impact this Summer? It's simple, volunteer for VBS.  No special skills are needed.  Just a loving heart.  If you are interested or just want to know more, join us in the River Room immediately following the morning service on Sunday, June 2nd, for our VBS 2024 Volunteer Kick-off Meeting.

Hello church family!  As you know, VBS is fast approaching, July 24th-28th.  We have an amazing week planned for the children.  However, that week is not possible without the entire church.  We have two very specific areas that we would love your help in donating specific items:

1. Supplies - here's a list of some of the things that we need.

• Cardboard boxes (many of them)

• Hay bales (at least 6)

• Old tires (at least 8)

• Potato sacks/burlap sacks (2 each)

• Balance beam

• PVC pipe and fittings for making hurdles

• Foam board

• Bicycles, scooters, skateboards, rollerblades, pogo sticks, unicycles, rip sticks, small kayaks, etc. for decorating only. Not to be ridden by volunteers or children.

2. Hospitality Room Treats - Throughout the week, we provide a hospitality room loaded with breakfast items and treats for our volunteers as a way to say "thank you"

• Breakfast bars

• Snack-type treats

• Chips

• Salsa

• Finger foods

• Candy

• Hot breakfast for specific days (cinnamon rolls, hot breakfast casserole, sausage biscuits, waffles, etc.)

• Fruit

Finally, we are still in need of many more volunteers.  If you are available and could volunteer for one, two, or even all five days, we would love your help.  Here are some specific areas that we can use volunteer help:

• Snacks - This team helps put together simple, pre-planned snacks for the children.

• Rotations - This group of volunteers helps move children from one rotation to the next.  This responsibility requires no pre-planning.

• Crafts - This group helps children create a specific VBS-themed craft for each day.

• Bus Drivers - This group helps to transport a small group of children from and to Hailey each day.  We have two drivers but could use one to two more.

• Decorating - The week prior to VBS, we will be transforming the entire church building by decorating for VBS.  We can use all of the help that we can get.  You do not have to be a creative type person to help with decorating. 

If you would like to donate any of the above items, please contact Chris at chris@pcbw.org or 731-935-9848.

Thank you in advance!
