July 14 - 18, 2003 Spotlight Index     Children's Ministries Come on in, the water's fine! Get ready for Super Cool Undersea Bible Adventure VBS! All children age 4 through those entering 4th grade are invited to join us for a week of Splish-Splash Games, Deep Bible Adventures, Undersea Crafts & Missions. Drive-in Diner, Sing and Play Splash and Sea Star Finales! Children entering 5th and 6th grades are invited to be part of Mission:Possible, a week of fun, fellowship and service that takes kids to different places in Red Bank and beyond. Listen to the crashing waves, smell the salt air and feel the soft, warm sand under your feet. Then get ready to dive into fun at Super Cool Undersea Bible Adventures as we go deeper into God's Word! We'll discover how to believe in God, obey God, trust God, love God and share God's love! Each morning, the kids will gather for a time of fun and music. Throughout the morning, they will move from activity to activity; crafts, movie, games, Bible exploration, and a snack. The morning ends with a Sea Star Finale of skits and more songs. Children are assigned to multi-age Scuba crews of 5-6 kids headed by a single crew leader who stays with the kids the whole morning and participates in activities with them; children meet and make friends with kids of all ages! Because our VBS continues to grow by leaps and bounds, we'll be running two VBS's simultaneously: one for 4- and 5-year-olds, and a Super Cool Undersea Bible Adventure for the first through fourth graders. That allows us to keep our groups a reasonable size so parents can be confident their children have a safe and fun time. As for our 5th and 6th graders, they'll be on the go! They'll spend Monday and Friday morning at the church, doing Bible study, cooking projects and preparing to lead worship. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, they'll be doing service projects in the morning, and playing in the afternoon until 2:00 p.m. Last year, activities included yardwork at HABCORE, preparing lunch for Habitat for Humanity volunteers, miniature golf and swimming. Limit of 15 children. SPECIAL NOTES: All are welcome! You need not be a member of First Presbyterian Church! Dates: Monday, July 14 - Friday, July 18, 2003 Time: 9:00 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Cost: $15 per child Registration deadline: Friday, July 5 (We will accept registration after this date, if space permits--early registration allows for adequate supplies, and you can order a S.C.U.B.A. CD!) In addition, there will be a closing worship service Friday, July 18, at 11:30 a.m. Come celebrate with us! Wear comfortable clothing and sneakers. Offering: we will be collecting new, unused socks and shoes rather than money during the week. Sandals, sneakers, flip-flops and socks in children's sizes would be appropriate. Questions?
