From the VBS Coordinator, Raleigh Macoy
There are three weeks in the life of our church where I am reminded why I love
Briarwood so much—Walk Through Nativity, Global Ministry Conference, and
Vacation Bible School. I’m sure there are other wonderful weeks but for me personally,
these are the BIG THREE, and I believe every member should try and take part in each
of these in some way each year.
One of these, Vacation Bible School, is fast approaching, and I would like to encourage
you to find a way to be a part of the fun. Bring your children, grandchildren, neighbors,
or a friend. VBS is a big, fun, week-long
celebration, and I know it will be a great way to kick off a fun filled summer at Briarwood!

Nursery VBS Volunteering
In the Nursery, we take care of the children of those who are volunteering for “Big” VBS or Nursery VBS. Our 2’s, 3’s, and 4’s have themes for the week and learn about God’s wonderful creation and His love for us. The 2 month-olds through 1 year-olds learn about God’s love as they are loved on by our staff.
If you are interested in helping in the Nursery during this year's VBS, please reach out to us and let us know!
