Vacation Bible School*
August 9-13
8:30 am - 3:30 pm

It is that time of year, where we wait with bated breath each day to see if the fog will roll in, or if it will stay sunny. Summer in the Bay Area is right around the corner! Summer brings freedom, chances to try something new, to learn in ways just not possible in a traditional classroom. Fruitvale Presbyterian Church is offering a unique opportunity this August... vacation Bible school, art style.

This summer We are hiring three working artists to spend a week with children and youth, entering 2nd-12th grade, teaching them what they know, encouraging new art skills, building relationships, and
getting some God in there in between. We will use the arts to explore religious issues and questions... and have a whole lot of fun. Be on the lookout for more details as we hire artists.

In the meantime... GET INVOLVED! Sign your child up now. (Are you in high school? Sign yourself up now!) Cost: $5 for the week. Scholarships are available. Contact Pastor Abby for a registration form. 510.530.0915 or 510.508.2809 or agkkaiser@gmail.com.


It will be all hands on deck that week! Email Caroline Yee at ccyee125@yahoo. com for more details. We need people to do all sorts of things... teach, help, supervise, bake, serve lunch, advertise, outreach. Certainly your gifts can be of service! Apply to be an artist. Email Pastor Abby at fruitvalepresbyterianchurch@gmail.com for more details. If the responsible adult needs to work later, arrangements can be made to extend childcare to 5 pm.

*VBS is made possible by a grant from the Center for Art, Religion and Eduction.

SUPPORT NEEDED FOR CAMP

Summer time means camp! Many of our youngsters (and some of our grandparents) attend camp at Westminster Woods at this time of year. Some of them cannot afford this life changing and formative faith experience without help from our community. We are
taking contributions to support this effort. Simply send a check with “camp” in the memo line, or write “camp” on the outside of your offering envelope if you would like to support this effort. At least one of our elders on Session was baptized at this kind of camp experience, and it changed her life forever. Be a part of bringing God into the lives of our youth in that way.
