Register Now for Vacation Bible School!
Join us on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation! River Oaks Church is excited to host a rainforest-themed Vacation Bible School from June 24-28, 2024. VBS will run daily from 9:00am-12:00pm.
Children from pre-k to rising 5th graders are encouraged to participate as campers. Rising 6th to 12th graders are encouraged to register as volunteers. (School volunteer hours are available for high schoolers!) Also, we need many adult volunteers to make sure that everything runs smoothly! The nursery will be available for infants and toddlers of adult helpers.
We are asking for a $10 donation per camper ($25 maximum per family) to help offset the cost of the t-shirts, snacks and crafts if you are able!
What is The Great Jungle Journey about?
Here is an overview of this year’s theme, The Great Jungle Journey, according to the Answers In Genesis website:
Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible?
At this VBS, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call. These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday life.
Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!
VBS Team Training and Prep
Volunteers will be expected to attend a Volunteer Training Meeting on Sunday, June 16 at 12:30pm where will spend time going over the vision for the week, logistics, safety and more. Please make it a priority to attend in person in order to build team unity and prepare for the week!
VBS Prep Week
The week before VBS there will be lots of final prep work to do in order to help everything run smoothly during the program: preparing craft materials, decoration elements, etc.
Monday, June 17 – Friday, June 21 from 9am-3pm each day, the leadership team will be at River Oaks ready to equip anyone who wants to come help with jobs to do. Youth helpers, this week is an awesome opportunity for service hours!
Decoration Sunday
On June 23, immediately following the 2nd service (about 12:30pm for those of you who aren’t regular attenders of ROC), we will transform River Oaks into a tropical jungle! This is always a major undertaking so we’d love to have everyone helping out! Pizza lunch will be provided for helpers.
Please contact Jane@riveroakschurch.com if you have any questions!
