Join us in our quest to bring VBS to every backyard in our area!
We are so excited to announce that VBS WILL BE HAPPENING this year! With one modification, though. Instead of you bringing your kids to VBS, we’re bringing VBS to your kids.
This summer, we’ll be using a quarantine-friendly VBS called BOLT. With minimal preparation, easy-to-follow instructions, and a video that leads you and your kids step-by-step through each of the 3 days, BOLT is designed for you to perform with your family at home. It’s so simple!
During BOLT, your family will participate in fun games that illustrate what it means to listen to, focus on, and follow Jesus. Depending on your pace, you can expect that each day’s experience will last about an hour and a half. It’s great for kids 5 and up. Even middle and high school kids can enjoy it!
If you want to get a better idea of what BOLT is, you can watch the Day 2 sample video here. (But don’t let your kiddos see it just yet—we want to save the fun for later.)
There’s something else we’re really excited about—this could also be an amazing outreach opportunity. If you feel comfortable gathering with more people, you can invite as many neighbors, friends, and family to your house for BOLT as you would like. It’s such an easy and fun way to share the good news of Jesus with our community. If it’s helpful, we’ve attached a printable invitation for you to use or you can share our social media posts with anyone you want to invite.

BOLT Bag
Each family registered by June 17th will receive a BOLT Bag full of supplies. The only thing families will need to provide are a few towels to dry off from water games, a blanket or sheet, a snack for each day, and a device with internet access.
Families can pick up their BOLT Bags at our Drive Through BOLT Block Party on Monday, June 22nd from 6-8pm. But this is not just a time to pick up supplies. This is a fun time for your children to play games and win prizes from the safety of your vehicle! Details about the Block Party are in your Parent and Leader Letter, including suggested times for families to visit to avoid over-crowding and long lines of cars. (If you registered after June 6th, you received this letter by email.)
If you're not able to attend on June 22nd, supplies can be picked up at our weekend services on June 20th and 21st, or you can call the church office to make arrangements with Kelly Belt to pick up your supplies.
