Dear Church Family,

After much prayer and consideration, we have cancelled VBS for this year.

As you know, volunteers from the FBCG family work hard to plan and prepare for weeks ahead of our VBS event. Under the present circumstances, the required preparation would be very difficult. There would also be an incredible challenge to keep the children in line with social distancing and other guidelines. With the safety of our children, families, and volunteers in mind, we can't carry on with VBS as usually planned and scheduled. With so much of our return to in-person gatherings still uncertain, it was best to cancel, rather than postpone VBS.

While this is a disappointment, we can be thankful for the wonderful children's ministry that is still being carried out every week. AWANA leaders and Connect Group teachers have been faithfully calling and writing, making contact with children and parents. Additionally, Brother Jeremy has been working to provide Children's Video lessons every week. If you haven't utilized the videos yet, visit www.fbcg.net/kids to check them out. Each week's lesson comes with a downloadable pdf worksheet, as well.

Thanks to all of you who have labored to make our VBS a success in years past. Rest assured, we'll need you again in 2021! In the meantime, lets continue to pray that the Lord would work powerfully among the youngest ones all around us.

Blessings,

Pastor Jarrod
