Pre-Register Now - Time Is Running Out!

The time for Baptist Center Church's annual Vacation Bible School is quickly approaching! VBS begins this Sunday night, July 18th, with registration starting at 4:45, dinner (FREE) starting at 5, line-up for Worship Rally at 6, and marching in at 6:15. We'll follow this same starting schedule every night through Thursday, with the exception of registration only starts at 4:45 on Sunday.

Each evening will be jam-packed with lots of excitement and adventure at Saddle Ridge Ranch. Cowboys, horses, corrals, haystacks, cowpies (or is that horse-pies?)... so much to see and fun to be had!

The final round-up time each evening will be at 8:45 p.m. Parents will either get in the carpool lane for quick pickup, or check them out at the corral in the sanctuary. Be sure to indicate your planned pickup method on your registration form when you sign up - or let us know at the first night's drop-off if you haven't done this already.

Family night will be on Friday night the 23rd, with the ceremony starting at 6:15 and dinner (pizza) to follow. We'll also have some inflatables and a mechanical bull, courtesy of our friends at Lamm Events.

For workers, please remember that Saturday is our big day for decorating. We'd like to have this all completed (as much as possible) on Saturday so we can spread the excitement even more on Sunday morning. If you have any questions, get in touch with our marvelous director, Jennifer Baker.

And of course if you have any questions or would like to really help us out by pre-registering your child via electronic registration form, please email me at: baptistcentervbs@gmail.com

We can't wait to see y'all at Saddle Ridge Ranch!

VBS Update & Pre-Registration Info

Hi everyone!

I've been a slacker with posting lately, but things should pick up a little now that we're getting close to the deadline for Saddle Ridge!

UPCOMING DATES TO REMEMBER:

- July 11th - Final workers' meeting at 4:00 p.m., which will be immediately followed by our community outreach time. Please come out and help us reach the surrounding neighborhoods with flyers, a kind word and a friendly smile as we invite them to join us for this amazing week - and you don't have to be signed up to help with VBS in order to help with this event!

- July 17th - Decoration Day starting at 9:00 a.m. for all teachers or rotation leaders.

- July 18th - VBS BEGINS!!! We will have dinner on Sunday evening, starting at 5:15 (I think?), but you can come a little early for registration if you don't pre-register. Someone will be at the church by 4 to help with registration.

Here's a big call for help though! We need to get registration information on as many kids as possible BEFORE VBS starts. So whether you're a church member or not, please email me at baptistcentervbs@gmail.com to request an electronic registration form. Please fill out and save one for each of your children ages 3 through 6th grade (just finished), and then email it back to me at the same email address. This is an electronic form that should be very easy for you to type your child's information in and return it via email. Then you need only bring your kids a little early on their first night at VBS - your completed form and their nametags should be waiting when you arrive! This will help make our first night go more smoothly than in years past.

Please also pass this information along to anyone you know who may not be watching this blog or a facebook friend of BCC VBS and let them know how to get in touch with us. Let's share the blessing of VBS with as many folks as we can!

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Blessings!

What's this have to do with VBS? Well, this will be the first official opportunity to pre-register your kids for Saddle Ridge VBS at BCC, July 18th-23rd. Be sure to visit the VBS table before, during, or after your shopping spree and sign your kids up! Kids age 3 through 6th grade (finishing 6th grade this school year) are welcome to join us for VBS this year.
