Hello VBS Families!  We are getting ready to Dive Into a Super Fun Week at 
Deep Sea Discovery Vacation Bible School at JKPC!  
Monday - Friday, July 20-24  from 9 a.m. - Noon
Your kids will learn that God is With Them Wherever They Go! 

We are excited that 90 campers (preschool - 8th grade) and over 60 High School & Adult Volunteers have registered for this Fun and Faith-filled Week!  If you're receiving this email, you've registered your child for VBS, or you've offered to volunteer.  We thank you!!

CAMP INFO
Deep Sea Discovery VBS week is Monday-Friday, July 20-24th,  9 a.m. - Noon  
We'll ask that all kids arrive at 8:45 a.m. so that parents can first sign them in officially in the main courtyard.  Please drive slowly in the parking lot.  Parents must walk their kids (preschool - 5th grade) into the courtyard each day to sign them in and out.  

Our VBS will be both indoors and outside.  Please wear sunscreen, bring your own water bottle and we recommend closed-toe shoes or sandals with an ankle strap (no flip-flops) since there will be running around during recreation time.  

MUSIC
We are excited to have Music Time with the kids - they love learning the songs and dance movements. 
CLICK HERE to go to our Music Page.
You can find a YouTube link with Music Videos of all the songs, and playlists on Spotify and Apple Music.   
Note:  Music CDs are available only upon request this year. We are happy to make one - but just let Ms. Nancy know 925-789-0067  
 

SUNDAY Kick-Off on July 19

We will have a VBS Kick-off On Sunday, July 19, after church, at 10:45 a.m. until 12:15 p.m.  Noon  Church Service is 9:30 a.m. - all welcome.  Join us for Treats, Games and Fun.  You can also pick up your VBS T-shirt on this day (we'll probably stay on campus during the afternoon getting thing ready).   We will let you know if tshirts arrive earlier, so you can stop by to pick them up.

SNACKS during VBS Week
We'll be asking kids to bring their own water bottles again this year.  We'll be able to keep them refilled with cold water. Our snacks are nut-free. We'll be confirming the snack menu in the next few weeks. 
Parents - you can then decide if you need to bring a similar snack for your kids if there are additional allergy concerns (gluten free, dairy free, etc).  There will be a place on the sign-in rosters to mark if you brought your own snack.   If your child is bringing an EpiPen, we will have the teachers hold onto them. Please make sure your name is on it  and  give it to your teacher at sign-in.

CLICK HERE for an Overview of the Lessons and Schedule for the Week. 
There are four main "class groups" (of grades close together) and a middle school class that will have half youth time and half leadership time.  
 

We will have Team Leaders for each area (Classroom leader, music, snack, craft, etc) who will be advised of the program.   I will hold an in-person meeting with those leaders.  Volunteers - you will be in good hands with your leaders.  Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or want more detail. 

During VBS Week, we will ask the Volunteers to please arrive at 8:30 a.m. each morning so that we can get you connected with your area leaders and assigned tasks. There will be nametags for everyone that you should wear each day.     

VBS CELEBRATION MUSIC SUNDAY~ July 26
Join us Sunday, July 26, when the kids will sing and share what they learned at VBS during our church service.  We'll all enjoy a Big BBQ and fellowship after!  There will be a RSVP so we will know how many burgers to grill :)

If you have any other questions, please let Miss Nancy know: jkpcnancyp@sbcglobal.net 

We'll send another email out the week before VBS with any other updated info, including the snack list for each day. 

We are looking forward to a Wonderful Week with your kids!  Join us on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. for our JKPC Worship Service - Sunday School with Ms. Nancy & friends, too!
