We invite you to the Wonderfully Made VBS Experience, which will be held in the Parish Center and on the Parish grounds, on August 13, 2022! This unique, one-day VBS experience is designed for children in Pre-Kindergarten through 4th grade, with 5th through 12th grade students invited to be our Special Assistants (GREAT WAY TO EARN SERVICE HOURS!). We will be celebrating what makes us “wonderfully made”, as we explore God’s gifts through play & creativity.

Camp details: VBS will be held from 9:00AM to 2:00PM. Campers & Student Assistants will be provided with a small snack & water bottle, but should also bring a packed lunch & drink from home. Throughout the day, campers will participate in a variety of arts & crafts, song & dance, games, and more! VBS will take place in the Parish Center, as well as under the Pavilion and in the field behind the Rectory, weather permitting.

Cost per Camper is $20; for families of 2 or more children, each additional sibling is only $5! Special Assistants attend VBS at no cost. Please do not hesitate to contact the Rectory if you have concerns about financial hardship! All Campers and Special Assistants must be registered to participate. The REGISTRATION DEADLINE is August 1, 2022! Registration forms are available in the back of the church, or you can download and print copies below. Please fill out one registration form PER CHILD. Completed registration & response forms can be submitted to the Rectory via a sealed envelope addressed to VBS 2022, which can be placed in the Offertory Basket at any weekend Mass; or, mailed to: St. Joseph Church Rectory, Attn: VBS 2022, 5050 St. Joseph's Road, Coopersburg, PA 18036. You will receive confirmation of receipt by email or telephone.

ADULT VOLUNTEERS (ages 18+) are still needed to assist at VBS! Opportunities include: Group Leader/Teacher, Assistant Teachers, Sports/Activity Leaders (outdoors position), Cafeteria Assistants, AND MORE! Adult volunteers must have all of the mandatory State of Pennsylvania & Diocese of Allentown safe environment requirements, with proof/documentation provided to the Rectory prior to VBS.
