STELLAR!
June 11 - 15, 2023

And it's all FREE!

VBS is a BIG DEAL at FaithWestwood!
Our entire church family gets involved in the planning, directing, shopping, leading, and teaching that it takes to make this the most exciting week of the year in Children's Ministry!

The Petes
Meet Your Hosts -- The Petes!
With their unique style, engaging humor, and boundless enthusiasm, The Petes bring so much energy and laughter to our VBS celebration!
Pete, RePete, 3Pete, and Tiny Pete make appearances at special events and in promotional videos throughout the year too. They keep us moving, keep us laughing, and VBS wouldn't be the same without them.
The Petes Challenge
The Petes are always up for a challenge too. This year, they've agreed to be silly-stringed, dunked, made into a human sundae, and even eat "space bugs" to help us meet some important goals before and during VBS!
This year's goals include:
- Getting 100 kids registered for VBS by June 1
- Getting 150 kids registered for VBS by June 11
- Collecting 750 food items for the FaithWorks Pantry during VBS week
- Raising $1000 to support this year's VBS Child/Family
Will you help the The Petes meet our goals -- and have something embarassing happen to them this year?
