Our VBS this summer will provide our young crew members with the opportunity to participate in Christian community, teaching them the value of Christian service, and introducing them to the ministry of Habitat for Humanity.  Children will assume the role of construction crew members and will be divided into building crews.  Jr. Crew members (age 3—5) will be in their own learning environment.  The older crew members will rotate between job sites and learn from engineers.  Each night will start in the Sanctuary with the Briefing of the Day that will include skits,  lively music and prayer.  Then it’s on to the Blueprint site (Bible activities), Break Time (recreation & games), and the Hard Hat area where the crew members will create, assemble, and produce projects which will provide for the needs of people in our community.
