Religious Education families join us as we honor Father Pat Ritter and say good bye as he retires, at our breakfast put on by the Knights of Columbus. We will also honor the 5th graders as they graduate from the elementary program and say thank you to the entire staff of Catechist for RE. Registration forms for 2012-2013 will be available on this day.

Thank you for a great year!

Dear Parents:

Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? At Sky, kids discover that everything is possible with God! Sky is filled with incredible Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, touch, and even taste! Sciency-Fun Gizmos™, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the Sky activities that help faith flow into real life. (Since everything is hands-on, kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and safe shoes.) Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call God Sightings.

 Get ready to hear that phrase a lot!

Your kids will also participate in a hands-on mission project, through a program called Operation Kid-to-Kid™ , that will let the kids in our community show God’s love to children in Mali, Africa.

Parents, grandparents, and friends are invited to join us in “First-Class Seating” section each day at 11:40am, because that’s when we’ll be having Fly Away Finale—a daily celebration of God’s love you won’t want to miss.

 So mark these dates on your calendar:June 25th – June 29th .

The fun starts at 9:00am and will end at noon. Call this number 425-450-4912  or www.sacredheart.org to register your children for this life-changing adventure! Or use VBS P.R.O. to register online! The cost is $60.00 per child.  Sign up soon only 15 spaces left for camp. Sign up today!

 Sincerely,

 Your Sky VBS Director

Volunteer Opportunities at Sky VBS      

Welcome to Sky: Where all things are possible with God!

In just a few short months, our church will soar into the Sky…Sky VBS, that is! Kids will worship God through songs and prayer, experiment with Sciency-Fun Gizmos, and discover life-changing Bible truths in fun and memorable ways.

To have the best adventure possible, we need lots of volunteers who can give some time, energy, and love to the kids who will attend. So let me share a few ideas about ways you might be able to make this program a success. Please check out the following list, and then pray about where God might use you.

Station Leaders: Use easy-to-follow station leader manuals and prepare one 20-minute session each day, which you will repeat with four different groups of approximately 20 kids. We need leaders for the following stations:

• Up & Away Sing & Play/Fly Away Finale (daily opening and closing, includes leading songs)
• Imagination Station (fun, hands-on science experiments)
• All-Star Games (high-energy games, with an emphasis on missions)
• Sky High Movie & Missions (video adventure and discussion)
• Skydive Diner (helping kids make snacks)
• Wild Blue Bible Adventures (incredible, surprising explorations of Bible stories)

Crew Leaders: Shepherd a mixed-age group of five elementary children through each day’s activities…and there’s no preparation!

Crew Leaders for preschoolers: Be a friend and helper to a group of five preschool children…again, no preparation required!

Still don’t see something that interests you? We’d also love to have a…

• Registration team
• Decorating team
• Photographer
• Publicity coordinator
• Supply coordinator

Guess what? There are also a few spots for anyone who’s dramatically inclined! Whatever your gifts, abilities, and time commitment, we’ve got a place for you

We believe that God will use this incredible program to reach many children with the message of his love, so please prayerfully consider your role in Sky VBS. Feel free to contact me by e-mail, phone, or in person if you have any questions. (For more information about Sky, visit https://www.groupvbspro.com/vbs/ez/SacredHeartBellevue  or kramous@sacredheart.org  You’ll connect with others who have volunteered in similar programs in the past.)

God bless,

Kathryn Ramous
