July 16 – 20 (Monday – Friday)

I’m starting to get pretty excited and pumped up about the up and coming Avalanche Ranch Vacation Bible School.  Postcards are in.  They are SWEET!!  They got labeled last night in a terrific labeling/grilling party.  We will invite the children in 6800 homes around the church to this year’s VBS (a record for us!).  The t-shirts have also been ordered.  They are also SWEET!!  Everyone at the VBS will get a t-shirt (including workers – so I would highly encourage everyone to participate in this year’s VBS – how awkward would that be not to have a cool t-shirt like everyone else [peer pressure, peer pressure, peer pressure].

Had a meeting last night to finalize the different stations and plans for the big week.  Went yesterday morning to another church who is also doing the Avalanche Ranch and is willing to let us borrow a lot of their props and sets (the sets and props were SWEET!!!  – way to go North Liberty Church of Christ).  So, AVALANCHE RANCH is drawing near!!!

The dates are:

6:00 – 8:30 p.m.

Ages:  4 year olds – 5th grade

Invite everyone!  Not only should you get your kids here!!  Have your kids bring ALL of their friends.  Kelly and I have about 20 kids on our little street – they are all getting invitations to the AVALANCHE RANCH!!  I bet we bring more friends than you!  (Yes, this is a friendly competitive throw-down of invitation challenge!)

If you haven’t signed up to help – WE CAN USE YOU!!  Lots of areas that we need support and help.  See Ann Lynn if you would be willing to help impact the lives of the children on the South Side of South Bend (who wouldn’t want to do that?!?!)
