VBS
My wife has been helping this week with Vacation Bible School at our church and my son is attending. This is such a great ministry as it really is a great way to reach out to kids and their parents who would not normally consider coming to church. A great opportunity to share Jesus and His love. I really admire those who volunteer their time to help with this as it takes so much to put on. I have read several blogs that mention helping with Vacation Bible School. My coworker’s kids are going to VBS the same week that our church has it and one of my son’s friends that he asked to come with him to VBS said that he couldn’t because he was already going to VBS at another church, both different denominations than our church. Here is my question, are all Vacation Bible School’s the same or at least similar? I know that there are different themes that they use at different churches, but are they all run the same way? I remember going to VBS when I was a kid growing up in Texas and it sounds very similar to the way it is run at our church. The kids all line up outside under a sign and then parade in to the sanctuary for the opening. They all do the pledges to the flag, Christian flag, and Bible and emphasis is made about the memory verse for the week and an offering is taken. Some time during the morning, there is a break for Kool-Aid and cookies. Is this the way it is at VBS at your church? What are the different ways that it is run or are they different?

The Ramblin Road Trip is the theme of VBS for churches affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. SBC VBS follows a certain format, but each church is free to use the format in part in whole or not at all. May use it because it is easier than coming up with one on their own, has lots of professionally developed materials, is true to the gospel and is FUN!
There are lots of other VBS curriculae out there and many are used by both Baptists and other denominations.

VBS at my church is a one hour Bible Class (more of a combo of a Bible Lesson, a craft, songs, etc.) and then a 30 minute live original drama. You can check it out via our web site. I'd be happy to send yo ua dvd of the drama. It is fun and at times a bit irreverent, but it teahces the Bible story. This year it was Moses. We have a big tradition and about 1,000 come each of the four nights.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and he will never depart from it" VBS is such a great way to add to so many numerous ways of training up a child. So sad that millions of children do not get this Christian training anywhere.
