We are nearing the end of a great week in the Arctic. Today, we are going to learn about Jesus walking on water. Though we may not walk on water, we go through difficult, faith-testing experiences. We need to look to Jesus and His power to help.
DAILY BIBLE VERSE:Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.” Matthew 14:22-33
ARCTIC CRITTER AND DAILY TRIVIA:Polar Bear. The polar bear’s skin is actually black. Polar bears do not hibernate.
PICK-UP:When you return to pick-up your child, you & your child will be checked at the exit doors to make sure the number tag matches the child’s wristband number. Please keep the number tag easily accessible. The safety of your child is very important to us!! There will be tables with the Arts & Crafts projects on them in the narthex so you can pick up your child’s project on your way out.
FOOD & WINTER OUTERWEAR DRIVE:This year, our Vacation Bible School & Day Camp are holding two drives to help the increasing number of people in the area. In the spirit of the Arctic, we are conducting a winter outerwear drive over the next two weeks as part of our outreach. We are asking for donations of new and/or gently used coats, mittens, gloves, and hats. These donations are for Hopelink to distribute to needy families in the area. We are also holding our annual summer food drive. We are asking each family to make a donation of food that school-age children would especially like. These donations will also be given to the Hopelink.
ICE CREAM SOCIAL:Tonight is our Ice Cream Social in the Fellowship Hall starting at 6:30pm. It is a great way to see what the kids have been doing in the Arctic all week. Please bring your family and come to the Arctic!!!
GENERAL REMINDERS:
-
Please sign your child in each day.
-
Your child is to wear the bracelet on the entire week.
-
Please have your child wear their VBS shirt every day.
Exploring the Arctic
Chorus
Wake up, stretch, get up on your feet
We’re going to explore the Arctic
Wake up, stretch, get up on your feet
We’re learning about God’s word
Verse 1
Like a penguin swimming in the sea
We’re swimming, swimming
And God created you and me
We’re swimming in God’s word. Chorus
Verse 2
Like a seal basking on the ice
We’re basking, basking
God made a covenant with us
We’re basking in God’s love. Chorus
Verse 3
Like an owl in a tree
We’re listening, listening
Knowing God will hear our prayers
We’re listening to God’s word. Chorus
Verse 4
Like a polar bear a wandering
We wander, wander
Trusting God to keep us safe
We wander in God’s word. Chorus
Verse 5
Like a lemming running free
We’re running, running
God is with us all the time
We know God loves us now. Chorus
