Vacation Bible School 2012
DATES: June 4 - June 8, 2012
TIMES: 9:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.
AGES: 4 Years through 5th Grade
Join the caravan to fun and learning of God's love through Bible Stories, crafts, songs, games, snacks and more with a desert theme.
For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heaven.
2 Corinthians 5:1
On this Amazing Desert Journey, your children will learn about God’s plan to rescue them from sin and death through His Son, Jesus, who even now is preparing a heavenly home for them and all who believe! As they hear the accounts of god’s forgiveness, mercy, and salvation from Scripture, they will begin to relate these Bible truths to their own life of faith now and for eternity.
Each Amazing Desert Journey day starts at the opening Oasis, where the children gather with their Caravan Leader and the other kids in the Caravan. They sing, pray, and learn the day’s Take-Home Point. The students will be memorizing and studying the Lord's prayer this week.
After the opening, the Caravans head off to five rotation sites for storytelling, Bible challenge, snacks, games and crafts. Finally, everyone comes back together at the Closing Oasis for music, prayer, and wrap-up with the closing skit. Before they go, kids get a Caravan Collective to help them share the day’s theme and Bible verse with their friends and family.
