Where will VBS Weekend? 

VBS will take place at the Redeemer East Harlem Worship Space which is located at 109 East 116th Street, 2nd floor (Between Lexington and Park Ave). This building is handicap accessible by using the elevator located in the ground floor of the laundromat (follow the posted signs). 

​

What can we expect? 

The theme of VBS this year is "Magnified: Discovering the Bigness of God!” 

​

Friday Movie Night looks like this: 

• All-aged children and their parents/guardians gather for a night of learning this year's theme songs and Bible verse. 

• We will then show a fun, family-friendly movie on the big screen.  

• We will have pizza, popcorn, and drinks during the movie.
   

VBS Sunday looks like this: 

• Registered children are placed on a team. 

• Each team has a name and a leader. Each team will stay with their leader for the duration of VBS.

• Each team will sit together for large group time. Following the large group session, each team will move from station-to-station around the REH Worship Space completing various activities. 

• After each team has completed all 6 stations, all the teams will join together for the large group time and then be dismissed from their leader at 2:45 pm. 

 

Is there a cost to attend?

This year is the first year we are asking for a small non-refundable payment to register for VBS, in order to make sure that all who register attend on VBS Sunday. The payment is low, at $5 per child. However, if you need financial assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at eastharlem@redeemer.com and we will make sure VBS is available to you if that $5 payment is not affordable. 

 

Can my friend attend, even though they don't attend REH or another church?

Sure! Just make sure they register by June 29 to get a spot! Please feel free to forward this page to your friends.

​

Can you volunteer on this day?

We need about 20 youth and adult volunteers for VBS Sunday to come to life. The commitment will be about 3 hours or less, for just 1 day, for almost all volunteers. If you have questions about this, please email Mrs. Nohemi at nohemi.campos@redeemer.com. Please register below if you would like to help us make VBS happen!

 

If you have any questions beyond these details, please contact Mrs. Nohemi at nohemi.campos@reh.nyc
