I am in the midst of Vacation Bible School and for some of you who are unfamiliar of this program. It is a week of kids ministry that is centered around a theme and biblical scripture. It is a great outreach arm for the church!
What is great about VBS?
- provides worship designed for children
- everything is centered around a theme
- creates an environment for learning and for excitement
Here is the dilemma: why cant we provide a VBS environment every week for our children? Well we can and churches that are growing are already doing so. Ed Young's church has curriculum that is out of this world and it provides worship designed for children, 8 weeks of material centered around a theme, and creates an environment for learning and excitement. There are a lot of different materials out there that provide great resources, the problem is we don't motivate our churches to provide it on a weekly basis and not just one week of the year.
VBS is great! More kids are reached through VBS than any other event or activity! If VBS is the largest event where the most kids are reached for Jesus Christ, than can you imagine the children that would be saved if more churches provided this on a weekly basis? Wow! We might just start a revolution!
