ChristmasEveWeirdThis week, we kick off the WEIRD series (1 week early) at West Side Kids. And, we need to warn you…..it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Let’s all get silly, wacky and weird together! Be sure to let your kids dress the part as we discover what it’s like to get a little weird!

Oct. 2 Christmas Jesus….a Weird way to be born (Luke 2:1-7)
Oct. 9 Beach DayJesus…..a Weird way to live (Matt. 4:1-11)
Oct. 16 Pajama DayAdopt a Weird Schedule (Luke 10:38-42)
Oct. 23 Sports Day Build Weird Relationships (Luke 15:11-24)
Oct. 30 Costume DayMake Weird Choices-Self Control (Daniel 1:1-16)
Nov. 6 Mis-Match Day Carry a Weird Wallet (Mark 12:41-44)

*We’d love to have your kids dress for each theme. Just be sure all outfits are modest. On costume day, nothing scary, no villians.

VBX Night 1, July 17th

VBX Night 1 was an absolute blast! We learned that God Made You! (Thank You God!) The story of creation tells us that God made everything that we see, smell, hear and feel…but of everything that God made, we are his favorite creation.

We ended the night at Main Event where we worshipped God and learned about our mission project. To find out more, visit www.springfieldsharefest.org. But the thing that had everyone buzzing was our Sumo Showdown! To see it for yourself, check out the video:

VBX Registration is OPEN!

VBXBNR2011web

PANDAMANIA: July 17-22 6:00-8:30 p.m.

For our kids, summer time means one thing: VBX! Mark your calendars for this “gotta-be-here eXperience” for kids.

  • VBX is Sunday, July 17 - Friday, July 22, 6:00pm – 8:30pm.
  • Children age 4 through grade 5 are invited to sign up for this adventure!
  • Online Registration begins June 1.

Parents with children who are 4 years old through Kindergarten should note that those classes have limited openings so be sure to register early!

SIGN UP TO VOLUNTEER: Adults can join the adventure too! 300 volunteers are needed to help make our week a success. Volunteers who want to build relationships would be great Panda Posse leaders helping kids connect their experiences at VBX with their own lives. Volunteers who love to serve on a team that specialize in snacks, crafts, games or Bible story telling would make great Station Leaders helping kids accomplish their mission as they stop at their station. Volunteers are also needed to help in our nursery, coordinate dinners, decorate the building, prepare materials in advance, donate snacks and much more.

Register your child for Pandamania!

Sign up to Volunteer!
