Crocodile Dock is almost here - are you?


Crocodile Dock is almost here!
August 17-21 is Vacation Bible School for First Lutheran Church and all our neighbors and friends are invited. I did not want to let the summer pass without asking you if you could or would be available to help lead or co-lead an activity station, be a counselor for a small group of kids, or simply be able to come and help where needed for the mornings (8:45-noon) of that week. On Friday of that week, we will be having a cook-out and inviting all the participants and their families to attend.

I know summer is a busy time, but your help is greatly needed in order to make VBS great this time around. Whatever gifts your bring to VBS, the best ones are go with the flow attitudes and a child-like desire to learn and have FUN!

We are accepting helpers from a wide age range, 7th grade to 101 and beyond (While minors being partnered with a qualified adult),so please call me or email me back and I will secure you with your preference in jobs as best as I can. Here's a sample list of jobs that need to still be filled:

DVD Bible Theater
DVD Bible Theater Support

Opening song leader (I will do this if necessary.)
Song leading support (1-2 people)

Team Counselors (We need 1-2 adults for each group of 15 kids and expect 60 kids this summer.) Approx 10-12.


This year our theme is "Fearless Kids shine God's light" - but courage is not limited to the kids this time! Thanks in advance for your help.
