VBS 2020 - Postponed
VBS Families
There are a variety of factors that led to this decision. Since Easter, discussions around VBS related to COVID-19 have been occurring. As these conversations occurred, several facts weighed heavily on the discussions:
- We have a high number of volunteers each year who are in demographics that are more likely to develop severe symptoms of COVID-19 and we do not want to put any of them at risk.
- We are projecting more than 250 children, more than 100 volunteers, parents/guardians at drop-off and pick-up time from around the region to be in the building each day and to be using every available space in the building. At drop-off times and pick-up times in particular, we project around 400 people in the building crowding in our hallways at sign-out time.
There are other numerous factors as well that would have made an in-person "socially-distanced" VBS this summer unfeasible as we also try to map out scenarios for the eventual re-opening of the church building and the Faith Child Care plans a reopening of their program.
We are exploring ways in which we can provide an online/at home experience this summer for your family. All families that were registered for VBS in 2019 and had already registered for VBS 2020 will receive these online plans. In addition, if you know of a family who would also like to receive online lessons, please let us know. We will keep you updated regarding these plans.
If you have any questions, please let us know. Thank you to those who had already registered for this year. We look forward to seeing you next summer!
