One of the things I love whenever summer comes is the VBS or Vacation Bible School. As far as I can remember, I have attended VBS when I was in 2nd Grade in the Philippines. I also remember not many children attended the VBS in my neighborhood. So it was quite a very close interaction with the volunteer teachers and a very thorough Bible lessons. We even got awards when the VBS concluded. It was a very fun and happy experience for me. During those times, I began to develop the understanding of faith in the Almighty.
Four years ago, I registered my child to attend the VBS in my area. And at the same time, I registered to volunteer to serve. Although there are several assignments, I chose to serve as one of the teachers in one of the Kindergarten classes. Volunteers had to do and pass a highly important online training regarding child’s safety. Gladly I passed it. The VBS in my area is huge so the need of volunteers and training them was vital to it’s success.
VBS theme varies every year. This year, it’s a Team Spirit theme. It’s like a pep rally when it’s Big Group time. Songs of praise, instrumentals, and Bible lesson review are done in Big Group gathering.
VBS is fun and educational. The youth will not only enjoy the age-appropriate activities organized for them, but also they will learn a lot about Jesus and being a good person.
Have you attended a Vacation Bible School before?
