VB-Us Team
Each year in January, the Christian Formation Committee chooses a theme for VB-Us and begins to build a VB-Us team including lecturers, children's teachers, musicians, cooks, kitchen staff, and more. If you would like to help plan VB-Us or serve in one of these roles, please speak to the rector or Christian Formation director.
Dinner & Music
Delicious dinners served by volunteers in Kennerly Hall. No cost; we will accept donations to defray the cost. A short dinner program beginning at 5:30 will include singing and praying together.
Lectures
Each night, we will offer a lecture to build on the theme of the year. Lecturers are often professors and other community leaders.
Children's Activities
The children's program includes stories, arts, songs, and playground time. We decorate T-shirts every year -- most often tie-dye. This year, Mother Kelly has something unique in mind! Our three objectives are for the kids to learn songs, hear stories, and make something to take home.
Thursday - Closing Events
On the final night we will begin with Holy Eucharist in the church. Afterward, we'll enjoy a big cookout on church grounds with kids' games, volleyball for the big kids, and a visit from the Sewanee Volunteer Fire Dept!
