March Update

Hi Friends!
I pray you are all doing well!  We are in the middle of March and spring is just around the corner… I promise!  I’m sure you’re already starting to make plans and dreaming of summer.  One of the things I wanted to remind you this month is that our Kids at the Ridge VBS Summer Camp Registration is OPEN!   In the few days since our registration has opened (March 15), we have over 20 kids registered!!!  This is a record for sure and word of mouth is spreading.  So if you were thinking about registering, please don’t delay! 
 
We also really want your children to have the opportunity to bring a friend. Our program is also an outreach event and we want to share the love of Jesus with as many kids as we can.  We will be handing out a flyer this Sunday that you can take home and/or give to a friend!  So please register soon to make sure there is a spot available. 
 
The second part of this VBS reminder is that we are looking for some volunteers!  If you are able to help in any way, please let me know. From decorations, curriculum preparation, set up and clean up, greeting, check-in, small groups, stations (and more!), we’d love your help to make this week a success!
 
 
Follow along with us at home!  Save this email to read the dinnertime question below each week and read the story with your kids.  We are just finishing up our unit in Preschool this week and also starting the Easter unit in elementary this week… so they are a little offset, but here are the dinnertime questions for the next 4 weeks below!  
NEW – we are working on sharing a special “Classroom” page for parents to access. We will share a special weekly video lesson that week. More news about that next month.
