VBS Week 2 was amazing as we visited Rome with Paul as he built the underground church.
Campers learned God's love is... a gift, changes us, is always with us, saves us and is worth sharing! Wow God!

A very special thank you to the VBS Adult Team for Week 2 - Kevin, Sam and Eamon who ran 5/6, Alyssa who ran Music, Cody who ran Games, Bernadette who ran Movie, Mary who ran Bible Adventures, Colleen who ran Imagination Station, Enzo and Matt who ran Rec, Kate who ran behind the table and Chase our photographer! This could never be done without them, their hard work and even more their friendship!

To VBS 2026 Week 1,

I hope all who attended and volunteered for Week 1 had a wonderful time.

I dont make this magic happen alone so Id like to take a moment to heartfully thank the following who volunteer to make our VBS the BEST camp around!

To the Ranforest Falls adult team - Kevin, Sam and Eamon who ran 5/6, Kate who helped run my main table, Matt who ran music, Roz who ran Bible Adventures, Sandy who ran Sticky Scriptures, Matt who ran Games, Colleen who ran Imagination Station, Enzo and Bob who ran Rec, Chase who took beautiful pictures each day (Ill be posting them soon) and helped me at the table: (They not only volunteered this week (and for some next too) but started meeting in March to plan VBS 2026 and after working through each day stayed after the teen volunteers left for debriefings to ensure everyone was having the best time!) I dont know how to say thank you enough! You are a such a blessing to me! Thank you for keeping me laughing, always having my back and for most important for being my friends. I love you guys!

To Nurses Karen and Stephanie - Thank you for volunteering your time and talents for all the boo boos!

To our Security - Thank you for keeping everyone safe

To the almost 200 TEENAGE volunteers - Thank you for answering God's call to volunteer this week. YOU helped to make this week one each camper will remember always. We are grateful for each and every one of you!!

To the campers and their families - thank you for choosing our camp. I hope you had the best time!

To Fr Anthony and Fr Charles who stopped by to see all the fun and for your support of the craziness that is VBS.

And lastly to my husband and kids for their love, patience and understanding when the VBS season becomes my sole focus 24/7. Thank you for your compassion when I am working on the weekends, the early mornings and the late nights. I could NEVER do this without your love and support.

For those who will be back for Week 2, I'll see you Monday!

For those who wont be there, I will miss you! (I hope I'll see you at the Youth and Family events at St Marys Church during the school year.)

Dont forget:
- God is our creator
- God knows everything
- God is our safe place
- God is love
- God is forever
WOW GOD! ❤️

Love,
Jess
