A Wild and Wacky, Wonderful Week

Koolaid, cookies, sticky hands and paste. Screaming voices singing: “I've Got the JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY Down in My Heart”  What is this phenomena?  If you can say VBS, faster than the blink of an eye, you win the BEST Screamer Award today! Vacation Bible School and summer go together like, baseball and popcorn. VBS is when churches’ children’s ministries gear up for a wild, wonderful, wacky and fun week!!!! 

Are your kids going?  Be sure your child has this fun adventure on the summer calendar. One or dozens of local churches will be hosting kids of all ages, and even some adults, for this special time of wrapping God's stories around a whole lot of adventurous zaniness.  There is usually just a short time frame during the day or evening so even the most timid child can usually handle it. It can be one unique way for your family to connect with other families.  It's a great way to know the moms and dads of your child’s friends during this casual event at church.  

Most of us parents want our kids summer time to be filled with lots of fun, but also meaningful experiences. That is one thing that Vacation Bible School teachers know how to do. These "saints above all saints", namely those teachers who love hanging out with kiddos, will involve your child in learning about making wise choices, building good character, and helping others while getting to be loud, busy and screamy!

Sounds like a good place for a kid to be.
