VBS SOCCER CAMP 2024

JULY 1-5 | 6:00-8:00PM
KIDS BORN: 2014-2019
COST: $45 PER CHILD

This year at VBS we are in the Wonky Candy Lab!

Wally Wonky, Professor Pumpernickel, and the Minions are trying to make the best candy possible, but mistakes keep happening! Will their candy creations be a mess or success?

We can’t wait for Summer 2024 to arrive and see our Sardis Kids out on the field, having fun and learning about Jesus!


What to Expect

Each evening will begin on the field at 6:00 with Team Leaders and Helpers guiding their teams through a variety of simple soccer games in a fun environment. Then, the whole group will head into the Church Sanctuary for “Zone Time”- our indoor program featuring action packed songs with the “Tim Tam Slams”, an episode of our homemade movie containing Bible lessons about God’s love, and more! After “Zone Time” kids will head back to the field for a short discussion time with their teams, and parents can pick up their kids on the field at 8:00pm.

Registration will be done here on our website, with the exception of collecting fees and Parent/Guardian consent, which will be done on the first night.

$45 Registration fee includes: the cost of the camp, t-shirt, soccer ball and wrist band. Kids will need to bring their own water bottles. Each evening they will be provided with a snack. The fees will also cover our wrap-up BBQ for the whole family, which takes place on the Sunday following the camp.

We will be registering up to 160 kids, and these kids will be situated on 3 different fields in 16-18 different teams. Each team will have approximately 7-10 kids and will each be led by a Team Leader and Team Helpers.

Still have questions? Please visit the bottom of this page, where you’ll find some frequently asked questions.


Volunteers

Volunteers are absolutely essential to the operation of VBS Soccer Camp! Volunteer roles are varied, but we know that there is a place for you to serve, no matter the ability. In fact, most of our VBS volunteers come away after the week telling us how fulfilling the week was, and how much fun they had! If you’d like to join our volunteer team this year, click below to find out more.

Take Aim

For kids born in 2013 who are too old to participate in the camp but too young to become a volunteer, we have a special program called “Take Aim”. These kids get to strengthen their leadership skills by assisting in various different areas of the camp each day, while still having a lot of fun! Take Aim has a cost of $20 to cover the cost of the t-shirt.


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, parents are welcome to bring a lawn chair and hang out for the evening and watch their kids. Or, kids may be dropped off with their Team Leader on the field and picked up again at 8:00pm.

  • Yes, if you have kids who aren’t participating in the camp, but still want to join in the fun, we will have a “Kid Central” set up on the East side of our property for toddlers, with a bouncy castle, inflatable soccer and crafts.

    Please note: a Parent/Guardian must supervise their children at all times in this area.

  • Yes, and it will take place on Soccer Sunday, July 7th. All the details for Soccer Sunday can be found here.

Ruth and Naomi's Mission is "transforming the lives of people experiencing homelessness, poverty, or struggling with addiction by bringing hope and healing through the love of God."

Sardis Fellowship has the opportunity to serve a meal at RAN every second Monday of the month from 5:45-7:15pm. We will be serving the food and cleaning up afterwards and need 6-10 volunteers per night that are 16 years or older.

Ruth and Naomi’s is located at 41630 Margaret Avenue. Arrive at 5:45pm and go to the smaller office building not the multi-story housing building. The Hall Entrance has a white canopy over it and once inside talk to the RAN host. The host will show you where you are to serve and what needs to be done. Enjoy time serving and visiting with people, then helping with taking down tables and cleaning up. Clean up is usually finished by 7:15pm.

Thank you for serving in this area.

Day of Prayer & Fasting
Jun
3
7:00 AM07:00

Day of Prayer & Fasting

Join us for a day of prayer and fasting on June 3rd. You can choose to participate in this day of prayer however you would like, wherever you find yourself.

As an initiative to increase our dependency on the Spirit, and seeking God to do a transformative work in and through Sardis Fellowship, we set aside the first day of the month to fast and pray. We know not everyone is able to do this in the same way, or to the same degree, so we ask you to consider how you can make this work for you. 

Each month we highlight something to focus on, whether that be in the life of our church family, our local community or world. Sometimes we have specific things for you to pray through and sometimes we just give you the focus and allow God’s Spirit to guide you in your prayer time around that topic. 

If we as a church family want to see the transformative power of God at work in our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and the community we live in, then we need to seek Him in prayer. I trust you’ll join us each month. Pastor Rod Heppell.

June 3rd: Prayer and Fasting

Please be in prayer for our VBS Soccer Camp coming up July 1-5 with Soccer Sunday on July 7th. Pray for the volunteers we will need to host this outreach to our families and community. Pray for kids from our community whom our families have invited to come. Pray for a full registration as we invite up to 150 kids to participate in this camp. Pray that Kids (and parents) hear about the amazing love of Jesus and take their next best step in following him.

Freedom Session

Freedom Session

Freedom Session is CANCELED January 18, 2024

Freedom Session will be running at Sardis Fellowship starting Thursday September 14th at 6pm. Freedom Session is a powerful, healing-discipleship journey, inviting you to rewrite your story with a God-inspired ending.

Through biblical teaching, small group discussion and personal reflection, Jesus will heal your heart and empower you to live a life of freedom and purpose.

Freedom Session is one of the most effective, encompassing and transferable healing-discipleship ministries available. Jesus doesn’t identify you according to your behaviours or behaviours committed against you; neither will we. As you open your life, hurts and will to the leadership of Jesus, and invite Him to reinterpret the painful memories that Satan uses to keep you in bondage, Jesus will heal your heart, set you free and give you a vision for life you never thought possible.

The current session for 2023-2024 year is full.
