Vacation Bible School August 15-19

Come join us for the Saddle Ridge Ranch VBS this week. We’ll be having fun and learning new things, asking questions and looking for answers. We’ll be meeting from 6:00pm to 7:30 pm. There will be classes for all ages including adults. Hope to see ya’ll there.

James 1:5 says “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”

Teaching Position Needs

Currently we have many opportunities for people to assist in the education of our young children at Valley Christian Church. Please be in prayer for all of these openings and let me know if your heart has been touched to serve in any of these opportunities.

Substitute Coordinator: In an effort to have consistency within classrooms and to help me out, the elders have agreed to open this assisting position. This person would be in charge of finding and coordinating substitute teachers for Sunday School, Junior Church and Pioneer Clubs. This person should be available also on most Sundays and Wednesday evenings in the case of an emergency need to fill in.

Sunday School: We have a need for a teacher & assistant for the 5th grade class for July & August. This is a very small class (3-4 kids). All classroom materials and curriculum are provided.

Junior Church: As we move around teachers within our ministries, we will have openings for teachers and assistants for both classes, PreK/K and Grades 1 & 2. Teachers and assistants work as a team on a rotation schedule for 2 weeks and then have 6 weeks off. Age appropriate curriculum is provided.

Vacation Bible School: We have many positions available from classroom teachers and assistants, recreation leaders, nursery workers and snack coordinators. VBS is July 19-23 6-8:30 pm

Pioneer Clubs: Pioneer Clubs will be coming back to VCC in October. Please be in prayer now if you are being called to serve in this ministry on Wed. evenings 6-7:30 pm.

If you are willing to work in any of these, please let me know.

God bless,
Heather Woodward

Jr. Church Teachers

Heather Woodward, Fran Roderick, Sheri Whitaker, Marilyn & Bev & Keith Bedell, Pat Hannes, Julie & Jeff Johnson

We are still seeking another team of two adults to teach, and three people to assist Lisa, Tara & Pat. We strive to have two adults in each class.

A third class is in the developmental stages for our special needs children. This is being organized by Cindi Hawkins. Parents will be expected to assist and/or teach on a rotating basis.

Parents are to pick up their children from Jr. Church at the end of the adult service. This is a safety precaution for our children.
