Rome will be intergenerational and involve crafts, drama, teaching, food and music. We need people with all sorts of talents. We need artists to help us plan for and produce murals and others attractive sets. We need decorators to help us make the setting as authentic as possible. We need donations of items. We need funds. We need storytellers. We need teachers. We need food. We need people good at crafts. We need actors.
VBS is a great opportunity for all in the church to serve God and humanity with their talents and treasure. In short, it is an opportunity for everyone in this church to put their faith into practice and show the children and youth of this congregation and the community that they matter. I hope many will find a way to participate in this wonderful opportunity to be relevant to God and humanity.
In the coming weeks, I will be posting needed positions and items on a bulletin board. Further, anyone wishing to offer something not mentioned should tell me or email me. It is likely we can use your talent or treasure for this event. This program is open to creativity and allows for people to serve where they are gifted. The opportunities to serve are both during the week of VBS and in the months and weeks prior. For example, artists don't have to commit to specific times. They simply need to complete their project by the necessary deadline.
I hope many of you will step up and make this a wonderful event for our youth and children and for community outreach and church growth. Please prayerfully consider what you may be able to offer after looking at the list below. Also, please look for our Rome bulletin board and money pot in the coming weeks.
On event days we need:
worship leaders
small group leaders
a drama director
actors
storytellers
craft leaders/teachers
food
except for food preparation, all of these positions require attendance at the event which will be about 15 hours of time commitment. 10 of these will be during VBS and the rest will be for rehearsal or meetings
Before the event we need:
artists to paint murals, etc.
a decorator/designer to help plan the sets
people who can sew costumes
laborers who can build simple structures
people to provide large pieces of cardboard or paper or canvas for murals
people to lend pop-up canopies
people to lend Roman-looking decorations, such as columns, rugs, etc.
people to lend Roman-looking costumes, such as togas and robes
These positions and items do not require attendance at the event. Instead, they require a more flexible commitment that may need to be scheduled with others joining in the given task.
