VBS 2020: TO MARS AND BEYOND
Greetings to everyone at your respective Outposts!
The SJU VBS Team has been continuing preparation, including pre-project planning, for our journey To Mars and Beyond! As with any undertaking such as this, the health and safety of our crew members and leaders is a high priority. We have decided that the best way to protect our Voyagers AND accomplish our mission is to conduct our journey via ZOOM meeting. So now
“V” is for Virtual (as in Virtual Bible School)
- We still need you to register your kids who will have completed Kindergarten through 5th grade before the deadline - July 1, 2020 so that we can send you the Zoom link and password.
- We plan to provide a packet of supplies for mission-related activities to those who register by the deadline. Our intent is that you will get the packet in time to “quarantine” it for several days prior to use. Still working out the delivery method.
- Click on the link below to register. If you already sent in your registration form – no need to re-submit this one. If you haven’t registered yet, we would love to hear from you soon.
We hope that you will be able to join us!
The SJU “V” is for Virtual Bible School Team
