#2 VBS Helper
Although Vacation Bible School isn't for another 6 months, there are a lot of opportunities to serve that begin right away! Each year, hundreds of kids participate in VBS at Crossroads and it takes a large group of servants to plan, maintain and inspire the week long event at the Church. Listed below are the ways you can get involved and responsibilities of each activity. Do not Waver, Serve the Savior!
