Ready, Set, Move!
This Summer’s SBPkids VBS

If faith is a journey, how do we know where to go and what to do along the way? This summer, your kids are invited to buckle up as we learn what it means to follow Jesus, do what Jesus says, believe who Jesus is, love who Jesus loves, share what Jesus did, and go where Jesus leads. We will go on a journey full of fun, games, amazing worship, and incredible truths from the Bible.

VBS (Vacation Bible School) is a summer tradition here at Saint Benedict Parish. For five days during the summer, kids get to take over the church building and spend half a day doing all kinds of fun things with other kids, all while learning about Jesus.

This summer our SBPkids Summer VBS is called Ready, Set, Move! When we’re following Jesus, we can’t sit still! We’re going to follow Jesus here, there, and everywhere! Here’s what to expect and how to make sure no one in your family misses out on the fun!

When: SBPkids Ready, Set, Move will happen every Sunday in July from 1pm to 4pm. (That’s July 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30th). Can’t come to them all? That’s okay! We hope that by doing VBS once a week on the weekends, we can ensure that lots of kids can participate in at least some of the fun.

Who: Kids born between 2018-2012 can participate in this summer’s VBS. (That’s any kids who will be going into grade primary all the way up to grade six in the Fall). Kids do not have to go to church to come to VBS. Invite your friends!

And also: Anyone older—teenagers and adults—are also welcome to join in the fun! VBS is fun for the whole family, and this is a great opportunity for everyone in our church family to help make summer awesome for the kids in our community. We need people with lots of different skills, and we have lots of different roles to fill: from food and snacks to games, crafts, teaching, leading, hanging out, singing and dancing, setting up and tearing down, and of course, all the planning. If you think you have some skills to offer, sign up at saintbenedict.ca/vbs.

Where: At Saint Benedict Parish! Kids can be dropped off and picked up downstairs in the auditorium.

How Much? It’s FREE! We want kids to feel free to come! However, VBS does take a lot of resources, so if you’re interested in donating to help support this ministry, there will be an option on the website soon to donate funds or items we will need.

How to join the fun: Registration is NOW OPEN. Kids AND volunteers can sign up now by going to saintbenedict.ca/vbs. We want to be ready for each and every kid, so please sign up as early as possible!

Are you excited yet? It’s time to get Ready, Set, Move: Follow Jesus Here, There, and Everywhere!
