We are getting ready for an Awesome Week at 
Knights of North Castle Vacation Bible School at JKPC, where your Kids will learn to Be Strong in the Lord! 
 
We have 70 students signed up for this Fun Week! If you're receiving this email, you've registered your child for VBS, or you've offered to volunteer.  
 
SUNDAY Kick-Off on July 10
We will have a VBS Kick-off On Sunday, July 10, after church, at 10:40ish a.m.   Join us for Hot Dogs, Chips, Sno Cones, Crafts and Games.  You can also pick up your VBS T-shirt and CD on this day! 
 
VBS CELEBRATION SUNDAY & BBQ ~ July 17
Join us Sunday, July 17, when the kids will sing and share what they learned at VBS during our church service.  We'll all enjoy
Big BBQ and fellowship after! 
 
VBS week is Monday-Friday, July 11-15,  9 a.m. - Noon  
We'll ask that all kids arrive at 8:45 a.m. so they can first sign-in in the main courtyard.  Parents Must sign their Preschool-5th Grade kids in and out (no drop offs in the parking lot or having an older sibling  sign them out). 
Make sure to wear your VBS Shirt every day (You can pick it up Sunday or Monday Morn) and play clothes with shoes that your child is able to run around in. 
 
Our VBS will be both indoors and outside.
Inside the Sanctuary we'll enjoy opening assembly (songs, skits, & fun) and Music time.  Outdoor classroom time will be filled with Bible Lessons, Recreation & Crafts. 
 
Snacks
Snacks will be served in Fellowship Hall.  
We'll make sure that hands are kept clean. 
Please note: Masks are optional for both inside and outside. 
We'll have extra masks available, but please note that we will not be enforcing mask use since their is no longer a mandate. 

We'll be asking kids to bring their own water bottles again this year - make sure your child's name is on it. We'll be able to keep them refilled with cold water.  Our snacks will be nut-free.  Here are the daily snacks we will be serving. 

Monday:  Friendship Mix - goldfish, honeycomb cereal, popcorn, pretzels, and sliced apples
Tuesday: Ritz/saltine Crackers /cheese sticks and watermelon
Wednesday: Muffins w/fruit
Thursday : mac and cheese and blue jello blocks
Friday: Sheet pan Pizza and Brownies

Parents - you can decide if you need to bring a similar snack for your kids if there are additional allergy concerns. 
There will be a place on the sign-in roster to mark if you brought your own snack.  EpiPens will be held in the church office - make sure your name is on it. Please give it to your teacher at sign-in.

IF you would like to help bring snacks for the Adult Volunteers - here is a Sign-up Genius List.
