Vacation Bible School Volunteers Needed Vacation Bible School Registration is open and we are expecting a large number of children to attend VBS again this summer! The dates for VBS are July 15-19 from 8:30-12:00 each day, and registration can be found on our church’s website. We are in need of a lot of volunteers to make this year’s VBS as fun, life changing, and safe as possible for the 200+ children from our church and community who will be attending! Our primary need every year is Crew Leaders: volunteers who lead a group of 7-8 children from station to station at VBS each day. There’s no prep work for this role: you simply hang out and travel with your group each day! If you would be willing to volunteer to be a Crew Leader for all five days, or just a few days, or if you would like to learn about other VBS volunteer roles, please email Melissa Hendon at mhendon@bpumc.org
