Be Incredible!


We can’t wait for Vacation Bible School! We hope that everyone enjoys and benefits from the week. God Makes Us Incredible… we are more than conquerors. Our focus will be on the life of Paul—Paul was so Incredible, and God made him that way. He will make us Incredible too. Inside there is a piece especially for teens, but we are hoping a lot of people will step up to help us out. VBS is July 31 to August 3, from 6pm to 8pm each evening. We’re counting on the evening time helping families with day shift workers.  Here is a brief explanation of what we asking you to do.

Teacher Staffing
Several have stepped up to help teach… and we need people to help out. Anyone who can help us out, please put your name there… or make corrections… this is certainly a work in progress. Topics are chosen and ready to go.

Craft Preparation
Our Crafts/Activities Team will need a hand getting some crafts and activities ready. We truly appreciate volunteers in this department.

Craft/Activities
We have built in a time each evening of class for students to have an activity/craft to reinforce what they are learning. Tell us when you can help out.
Snacks For Each Evening
Each evening we need a leader—and helpers to dish out snacks. This can be different people for different days. You tell us...

Social on Wednesday Evening
Our last night of VBS will be an INCREDIBLE social for kids, parents, and the congregation. We need help getting that figured out.

Worker Meals
VBS starts about the time dinner is for a lot of people, so we are going to have a light meal each evening before VBS for our Volunteer Staff and Family. Melissa Wiley has volunteered to lead this, so pitch in to help her out.

Additional Items
  • Taking pictures is a vital part of our celebration with the kids. We’ll have a slide show during the social on Wednesday evening. We need lots of picts.
  • Fast fingers. People who can take and help slap together video in a hurry.
  • Greeters. Our greeters will be helpers to Penny Rossini, who will be in the Lobby at VBS Central. You’ll help with security as well.

More to Come...
Take a look a t the board in the Lobby… and stay tuned for more info! 

Incredible Teens

We are very proud of our teen group at Center Road.  Everyone did a fantastic job honoring our incredible seniors last week!

In addition to fantastic summer plans, our teens provide a very important part of our VBS. Teens help many ways, especially in the classroom, but not just there. So, here’s the plan so far.

YES (I’ve been asked if teens are helping) - YES is the answer. If you can help us out, please sign up on the board in the Lobby, especially in the area of classes.

End of Each Evening. There is time allotted for our teens to lead a devo/mixer at the end of each evening for 3rd Grade and Older. Why?
Cause teens are awesomely gooey… in a good way! It’s a chance for you to use your gifts from God to let other people “stick to you” and see Jesus.  Why should a young person come back to Center Road, if they are visiting with us?  You are a super billboard.

Ongoing Activity.  7th Grade can choose to attend class. Also, I hope that we can have an ongoing activity that provides a place for teens to connect when they aren’t busy helping.
Most of all, please pray that God uses us incredibly for Him… we want to love people one step closer to Jesus… and our teens are a huge part of that!
