Howdie!

Time to Saddle Up!  SonWest Roundup Vacation Bible School is coming June 17-21, 2013. This year we are transforming the Green into the great Wild West. During the week there’ll be food, games, music, crafts—and the amazing stories of the Exodus, when God gathered His people and brought them to true freedom!

SonWest Roundup VBS is looking for volunteers with hearts as big as the wide open spaces. Each year we serve over one hundred and twenty-children. It’s an enormous effort, but with over eighty adult volunteers, it’s also a lot of fun. We hope to draw even more children this year, and we’ll need your help to do it. So whether you can volunteer for the week, for a few nights, or even one day only, there are lots of ways you can help. We need you!

Here is a list of the teams and what they do. Take a look and see where you think you would like to be.

Counselors – oversee a small group (10 kids) escorting them to activities and lead a short Bible Story discussion. Two Counselors per group

Registration – check in, assign and place children into their group for the week. Update attendance records.

Games – lead the children in a new field game activity each day.

Arts & Crafts – assist the children in creating a unique craft each day.

Administration – assist in organizing the event and behind the scenes activity.

Actors – join a cast presenting humorous skits each day, introducing the Bible Story and Theme of the day.

Snacks – help prepare and serve a daily snack to the children

Set Dressing – we are turning the Green into a Cattle Trail and Old West Town. We need folks who can bring set decorations (hay wagon or wagon wheel, fencing, ox yokes, whatever) and then come to the Green to set it all up

Running Crew – each day we need to set up and take down and secure things that shouldn’t be left out on the Green overnight. With a van and some people we’ll shuttle sound equipment, tables and chairs from First Presbyterian to the Green
