VBS is coming, July 30‐31. How can you help?
By Yvette Walker and Sabrina Evans
This year’s Vacation Bible School focuses on the “Life and times of Jesus” ‐‐ July 30 starting at 1 p.m., and ending July 31at conclusion of 10:30 service. Sabrina Evans, Director of Christian Formation for the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, is planning this year’s event. According to Sabrina, “We will sleep in tents on the property and each tent will be a business or shop.” Sabrina asks the members of St. Augustine to help make this year’s VBS a success by assisting with the following: • •
Make Lentil soup (using the recipe provided. Recipes will be at St. Augustine’s for pick up!) Make Hummus (using the recipe provided)
• • • • • • • • • • •
Provide ingredients for Pita Bread – Yeast, flour, salt Provide boiled eggs Make banana nut bread loafs or provide whole loaf purchased from store Provide bananas, milk, pineapples Donate a tent Make a donation to help fund our crafts Come and help us set up prior to VBS Help make our well area Help sort out costumes Help us take down after the 10:30 a.m. service on July 31 Pray for us!
As you can see, there is a lot to do, and this year’s VBS is especially ambitious. “The Life and Times of Jesus” will be a rewarding event for the children of St. Augustine’s, and the child in all of us!
