Vacation Bible School

June 2-5

9-noon

Offered for campers 3K-5th grade (by 9/1/24).

We will start each day together, and then age-grouped classes will move through the rotations of Bible activities, crafts, science, games, music, and snacks. Check-in will be each morning between 8:45-9 am in the Parish Life Center. Carline pick-up will occur each day at noon from the red doors near the Sanctuary. On Thursday at noon, we invite families to park & come in to enjoy a luncheon show, highlighting what the children have learned this VBS week.

To go with our road trip theme, $30/family registration fee will go towards camp scholarships to Lutheridge mission so kids who need it can on their road trips to camp.

We will need adults and middle and high school youth volunteers to help in the various areas each day. Please let Tricia Finkenberg know if you are interested in helping. Be on the lookout for Take and Make bags coming soon too as we prepare for the faith-filled week together!!

Embark on an exciting journey with Road Trip VBS, based on Joshua 1:9 – “The LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” Discover God’s presence everywhere as we explore new places, make new friends, and experience God’s goodness together.

Join us in a fun-filled adventure on the open road, taking all the kids (Travelers) on thrilling journeys to exciting destinations. Led by the Navigator and an adventurous pup Scout, kids will learn that God is always with them. Through engaging stories from the Navigators’ Guide (the Bible), Travelers will delve into timeless tales of faith from the Old and New Testaments. Get ready for twists, turns, and excitement as they face new challenges and find strength in God’s presence on this unforgettable trip!

Road trips are a great way to build strong relationships and create indelible memories. This makes Road Trip VBS not only a fun experience for kids, but also an opportunity for them to strengthen their faith and bond with others in their community. With engaging activities, interactive games, and meaningful lessons, children will have a blast while they grow in their understanding of God’s love and promises for everyone.

POP Tabs for RMHC CHARLESTON

Even the LITTLE things make a BIG difference!

HOW DO THE POP TABS HELP RMHC CHARLESTON?

The tab of an aluminum can is pure aluminum unlike the rest of the can, which contains paint and other residue. Once our pop tab dumpster is full, we take the pop tabs to a local aluminum recycler. According to the price of aluminum at that time and the weight of our tabs, the recycling center gives us a check. The price of aluminum fluctuates anywhere between 35 to 85 cents a pound. This money is used for our general operating expenses meaning it truly helps in keeping our doors open to continue to serve more than 900 families annually.

While the whole can is valuable as a recyclable, RMHC Charleston does not have the storage capacity to collect the whole can. The aluminum tabs are smaller and easier to handle; they are much easier to handle when large volumes are delivered.

Pop off your tops & bring them to church (look for the gray bin with the pop tops inside a teddy bear container) & we will collect them to give to the Ronald McDonald House Charities in Charleston
