VBS - church/community sample

CALL MOM is getting many requests already for ideas and locations on Summer Camp and VBS and how to fund activities in general. The following post can be applied to any neighborhood where you live across the country. Ask your church if they have a program. If they do not have a program, ask to be referred. Network to find the group that can meet your needs and reciprocate when you are able to.... that is NOT charity. That is Community.

Saturdays | 8:30 – 10:30 am
The Saturday Food Bank is open to everyone. It offers both perishable and non-perishable items, as well as a small selection of toiletries. Food helps, but it doesn’t heal. Which is why the Saturday Food Bank also has monthly employment interviews, additional assistance resources, family legal services, prayer ministry, and more.
In addition to professional counseling, SHV also offers the following counseling-related ministries:

Easter =



While hunting for appropriate, meaningful Easter cards I became a little disillusioned when I ended up with a empty basket. Nothing had captured the true meaning of Easter. All the commercial cuteness pointed to a Easter of degrees, like a theme with a extended drop down menu:
EASTER
for kids: Easter egg hunts, a cute dress for girls, nice outfit for boys, lots of candy, fun, fun, fun, cute bunnies, pretty flowers, butterflies, lady bugs
for teens: whatever
for tweens: lots of food, church with the folks
for parents: meal planning, shopping, cooking, decorating, lawn care, cards, family relations

What about the traditional Easter? A Easter with spiritual roots and promise of a redeemed life? As single parents, we are painfully acquainted with lack. We want a better life for us and the kids. We are looking to cut loose from the muck of the past and rise to a new life, like flowers in the spring, cherry blossoms, lambs, carefree bunnies... loved, respected, valued, heard.

YOU can have that new life! Simply, let go of all the muck of the past. Now your hands are clean and free to receive. It's your choice, life or death, blessings or curses. What better time than Spring and Easter to freely take what has been bought for you at the cross.

Here is a  Easter story to get you caught up:
Here is a link to have fun with the kids:
We stand with you because we care.
Happy, hoppy Easter
