God's BIG Backyard - Learning to Serve Jesus!

 "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."  Mark 12:29-31 NIV

Come as you are!  Dress is casual and the community is invited!
A special slideshow of the week's VBS events will be shared and all children
will receive a free cd copy of the presentation, compliments of Mt. Zion UMC.

VBS Volunteers were needed to prepare props, lead group sessions, help serve children, cook, clean up, help with skits, and for prayers!  We requested your prayers in preparation for this local mission event and during VBS week.  A Christ filled week to reach out to our local community while serving our own children as well. 

VBS donations were needed for crafts items, food items, and monetary donations, so that the entire week is of no cost to the community.  This summer's Mission Project will be to collect money in socks to benefit our local Lower Currituck Volunteer Fire Department!  So expect to see some firefighters and a big red truck during the week's activities!  We were proud to adopt them as our VBS mission project for 2008.

Please pray about your role to help this week glorify the Lord.
Questions or comments may be directed to VBS Director Sheila Grandy.

 All are welcomed to Mt. Zion for Sunday School and Worship all year through.
Come as you are and join us as we learn by studying the Word to serve and praise the Lord.

*Our focus is to serve children in grades K - 5th grades.  However, there are limited spaces
 available for 3 & 4 year olds with children of adult VBS volunteers receiving priority.  Please register early!
