Charis Moms’ Fellowship
This year, we are encouraging all moms to become more connected and involved in the life of our church family. While we have offered a fellowship gathering for moms during VBS in previous years, we will not be offering Charis Moms Fellowship this year.
If you have been attending CCCV for at least six months and consider CCCV your home fellowship, we invite you to prayerfully consider serving during VBS. Serving is a wonderful opportunity to build relationships, pour into the next generation, and be part of what God is doing through this ministry.
For the safety and security of all kids, only approved VBS servants are permitted to remain on campus during VBS hours. If you are not serving, we kindly ask that you make plans to spend that time off campus while your kids enjoy VBS.
Thank you for your understanding and for partnering with us to create a safe and impactful VBS experience for every kid.
