.Get ready, VBS Knights!
It’s time for this year’s Virtual Vacation Bible School Adventure!

An online program for families to share at home
Monday, June 21 — Friday, June 25, 2021
Presented by Ebenezer United Methodist Church and Resurrection Parish



Virtual Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a great way to re-engage your child this summer with some fun and meaningful lessons about how God is with us, even when we must be separated from one another and our normal group activities.

Sign your child up today for Knights of North Castle — a FREE, and really cool, online version of VBS featuring Bible stories, crafts, music, science experiments and outdoor games.

This year’s Virtual VBS is designed as a 5-day program for the week of June 21 — 25, but you can view the links at a time and pace that suit your family’s schedule any time once they go live the week of June 21. Each family who registers will receive a link to the online program, as well as a packet of materials to supplement the lessons and activities. NEW THIS YEAR: you will also receive exclusive links to join our live VBS prayer and praise online gatherings planned for Wednesday and Friday evenings, June 23 and 25.
No Ebenezer/Resurrection VBS week would be complete without a mission project. — and everyone is invited to be part of this year’s heart-warming mission, even if you don’t have a child participating in VBS. In keeping with our “Knights of North Castle” theme (think cold air, snow, and finding strength) we’re collecting new, warm SOCKS to donate to Code Purple Shelters coordinated by Friendship House to help men, women and children when the overnight temperature dips below 30 degrees. Look for a collection basket labeled VBS Mission in the gathering space. Or you may make a financial contribution labeled VBS Mission and the VBS Knights will buy the socks for you.

Looking for more ways to take up the gauntlet and support VBS?  We need empty cereal boxes (minimum size 12 oz) — LOTS of empty cereal boxes! Please do NOT break them down; we need them in box form. We also need new or gently used pool noodles. You’ll  find a basket for these in the gathering space.  Contact Elaine at elittle@resurrectionde.org with any questions.
Registration deadline: June 4, 2021
Email a completed form for each child to newarkebenezerumc@verizon.net, or mail or drop it off at Ebenezer United Methodist Church (525 Polly Drummond Hill Road, Newark DE 19711). Questions? Call the church office at 302-731-9495.

Spread the word to friends and neighbors! Remember, it’s virtual, so they don’t have to live in the area. All are welcome to become Knights of North Castle and join us on our VBS quest for the King’s armor!
