VBS - June 14-18 - Register now! Volunteer Now!
Vacation Bible School 2021 is just around the corner. If you haven't registered please do so by June 5th in order for the organizers to assure there is plenty of materials for everyone.
In order to make this year's VBS successful many volunteers are needed. We need a lead teacher for Gr 1 & 2 , along with a lead teacher for games and for crafts. We also need at least 5 volunteers to help register all of the students Monday morning when they enter the school. If we don’t get volunteers for these key positions, we may not be able to have VBS!! There are also many assistant volunteers in all of these areas also needed. For registration and volunteer, sign-up go to https://www.salemlutheran.org/vbs.
If you have any questions about what your duties would be in each area of volunteering please contact the Vacation Bible School coordinator, Debbie Hansen at dhansen@salemlutheran.org.
