God’s Big Backyard:

Vacation Bible School

at

The Episcopal Church of the Atonement

4945 Point Road, NE Sandy Springs, GA 30342

July 21st -25th, 2008

The Episcopal Church of the Atonement is excited to announce this summer’s Vacation Bible School:  God’s Big Backyard.  This summer our focus is on serving others in our community including our family, friends, and neighbors.   Please join us as we learn practical ways to demonstrate Jesus’ love on a daily basis and incorporate service into our daily lives.  

Each morning we will kick off our day with Bible stories and upbeat songs.  Each child will be assigned to a group with their peers and begin an exciting morning of crafts, community service projects, backyard games, and yummy snacks.  Each day will end in the parish hall where we will get the chance to eat our packed lunches together, reflect on the day, and wait to be picked up.  

Our hope is that by the end of the week each child will have identified and practiced ways in which they can help others and realize that no act, however small, is insignificant when it is a reflection of Christian love for one another.

We invite all the children to participate in the 9:00 a.m. service on Sunday, July 27th, followed by a reception.  We have also been invited to offer an anthem prior to the 11:15 a.m. service. 

·         VBS is open to children 5-10 years of age from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.  The registration fee is $20 and includes a youth t-shirt. 

 

·         Please have your child bring a packed lunch each day except for Friday when we will share pizza at our Backyard Block Party. 

Sign up by downloading the registration form online.  Complete the form and place it with payment in Brittany Apple’s mailbox, or mail it to the church office.  Please fill out one form for each child.  The appropriate registration fee per child must be included with the form to be accepted.  Pre-registration is required so that we have appropriate materials for all participants.  We are looking forward to a fun week!!

 Registration deadline is Sunday, June 22nd.
