On Your Mark, Get Set, Volunteer!!!



On your mark, get set, volunteer!!  We are ready to sign you up to help us out this year during VBS!  As I've shared before, we are planning a huge outreach event on Saturday, June 2 and we need all sorts of volunteers. We need volunteers to work the week of VBS.  We need volunteers to help with follow up!  And the list can go on and on!!  It is going to take everyone helping out to make VBS a success.  So...the next two Sundays, you have the opportunity to volunteer without pressure!!  After next Sunday, well let's just say we'll probably be calling and emailing those of you that didn't volunteer on your own!  (Just another incentive to go ahead and sign up this weekend or next!)  This week you will find an insert in your bulletin that will be a list of how we need help!  The welcome center is decorated and we'll be there after the morning service for the next two weeks, so please stop by and volunteer.

We love excited volunteers.  As a matter of fact, I'm going to choose a couple of our excited volunteers to spotlight over the next few weeks!  Their picture will make our bulletin board along with the reasons they are excited to be working in VBS.   If you are chosen as one of our excited volunteers to spotlight, we will be giving you a little surprise as our way of thanking you for your service!!  How you might make the volunteer spotlight...it might be that this is your very first year to serve in VBS and you show us how excited you are to be involved, it might be that you go above and beyond your volunteer duties leading up to VBS (we will be on the lookout), or maybe you come decked out for a hot air balloon adventure to church one Sunday and go by and encourage our children to bring friends!  I believe that you all are a creative bunch so I can't wait to see how you're going to make our volunteer spotlight!   This spotlight opportunity is open to youth workers and adults!!

Now...to give you a little update to what has been going on the past week or two...

We met last Wednesday night and discussed some follow up opportunities to be more intentional about follow up with our prospects.  We finalized the list of parks that we are going to be putting fliers out on windshields the week of May 14.   And we also discussed further advertising methods! We finalized that our VBS teacher training date is May 6 at 4 pm.  We're calling it "Takeoff Instructional Huddle".  So be sure to write that on your calendar if you will be working the week of VBS! 

And the last thing that I need to tell you...our characters have names!  If you've not been by our VBS bulletin board, stop by and check out their names!!  Thanks for helping us name our characters!!
