We are about to embark on a week of learning, growing, and fun! St. Peter's VBS week this year is June 10-14, and the theme is "Changing the World with Lovingkindness."
Below are some links where you can find some background and additional information and research about lovingkindness:
Consider utilizing resources for breathing and calming the mind from a meditation app. The Calm and Headspace apps have many great resources for all ages.
For an engaging discussion about feelings, use a feelings wheel. You can find one here (we will also make one at camp): https://bit.ly/3buqg11
Our Daily Schedule (9 AM - Noon) will go something like this:
9 AM - Drop off & Settle in
9:15 AM - Gathering & Music
9:25 AM - Bible Story
9:35 AM - Skit
9:50 AM - Rotations
10:30 AM - Snack/Bathrooms
10:50 AM - Rotations
11:30 AM - Bathrooms

12:00 PM - Pickup
The rotations are Movement & Compassion Practice, Recreation, Create & Play, and Compassion in Action. We have 24 kids from Pre-K through 5th grade who will be divided up into 4 groups by age. We will have about 19 volunteers/staff present from St. Peter's. Some youth, some adults. All adults are background checked and have Safe Church training.
Our morning gathering time will be open to parishioners and parents/caregivers to learn the theme, song, and story of the day if they'd like to join us!
Some Instructions for Families
Children should dress in play clothes and bring a water bottle (labeled is best!).
T-shirts will be sent home on Tuesday, and we hope everyone will wear them on Friday!
Drop off will be in the circle at St. Peter’s at 9 AM. We’ll be here to greet and guide you.
Pickup at Noon in the same place.
Keep an eye on this blog for daily posts about the day. Each day, I'll post Lovingkindness Practices you can do together at home, the songs and themes we learned each day, and more.
Reach out with any questions. See you soon!
