Rocky Railway VBS

July 27th-31st 2020

Dear Parents of Rocky Railway Crew Members,
We are so excited to have you join us for the July 27-31st 2020 VBS at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church!  From preschool to 5th grade, our crew members (kids) are sure to enjoy the ride!  With so many challenges, we have the opportunity of presenting VBS this year in a unique way.  Although it will be very different from previous years, we will still bring the message of Jesus and how his “Power Pulls Us Through”!
Thank you for being a part of our Summer Adventure!
Blessings to all~
 Amy Herron, Corinne Lockie, & Kelly Gehrke

For Your Safety

• We are taking steps to ensure a safe and healthy environment! ​
• Temp checks will be taken for each child/parent at the door.
• If temperature at the or above 100.4 F, child or parent will not be able to attend in person that week.  (Masks not required for crew members/adults)​
• An adult 18 or older MUST walk children into the building to ensure temperature is within normal range.    
• All family groups will be kept together within carefully marked social distanced pews.  All children/parents will be assigned a spot for the week.  Also, we are keeping everyone in the sanctuary for the duration of each session.
• Upon entering the parking lot, each family will receive a number and wait in their cars until the usher holds up their number to enter into the building.  Will then be allowed to check in and be ushered to the pews of the sanctuary. 
• After each session is over, ushers will also be escorting families out by rows to the building exit.  This ensures less exposure to others and more time to devote to cleaning the facility.
• All ushers will be wearing kid friendly masks and Rocky Railway attire!
• ​In between and after all sessions, the church including the restrooms will be thoroughly cleaned to ensure health and wellness!

Additional Information

In person sessions are subject to change due to updated CDC/State recommendations.  At that point, all VBS crew members can participate virtually.

• Pre-registration & Waiver of Liability Form must be completed for all attending.  This will be available via a link w/ registration.  Also, an adult can sign the COVID 19 Waiver on Monday’s registration upon admittance to VBS. 

• Each day your child will be able to experience the Rocky Railway Adventure!  Please get creative and encourage your child to wear railroad attire.  We will still have a lot of the same things everyone has come to love about VBS.  From hilarious skits, to playful songs, learning more about God’s creative Bible buddies and most importantly having the kids learn about the daily Bible story in a fun and adventurous way, will surely keep them coming back!  Take a ride on our locomotive through the deep valleys and highest mountaintops to explore how, “Jesus’ Power Pulls Us Through!”​
