Through the generosity of Living Word United Methodist Church in Wildwood, MO, SportsLife Camps will be bringing an evening Vacation Bible School program to The Bridge for kids to enjoy. On Monday, July 19, through Thursday, July 22, from 6:30 - 8 p.m. each evening, all children in 1st through 6th grades (what they'll be entering in fall 2010) will be welcomed to join the fun at Cententary for this program.
Sara Cleary, Director of Children's Ministries at Living Word says, "This will be our 3rd summer offering SportsLife Camp at Living Word. It has been an awesome experience for all involved." They wanted to offer the same program to children of our guests at The Bridge, those that reside in area homeless shelters with their parents and for children who live in the downtown area who may not otherwise have the availability for VBS this summer. Living Word arranged for SportsLife to come to Centenary as part of their Community Outreach program.
As Sara goes on to say, "The SportsLife Team Counselors simply show up with a trailer full of supplies and lead the camp - much different than a 'traditional' VBS". This year's theme is "REACH". The time at VBS will be spent with upbeat song and dance, arts & crafts, a Bible lesson with a DVD component, and then actual "sport instruction" in various areas. And of course, a snack!
It is desired that all campers pre-register, but walk-ins will be welcomed as well. There is no cost to any children who attend the VBS at Centenary. Open registration begins each night at 6:15 pm right inside the door off the parking lot at Centenary UMC. For more information or to register your child for VBS, please contact The Bridge.
