433.0. "IDEAS NEEDED FOR VBS" by AIMHI::JMARTIN () Mon Mar 14 1994 12:33

    I have volunteered to manage this years VBS, (Vacation Bible School), 
    and am looking for any suggestions or neat ideas you think would
    interest the children.  Missions is a possible theme as we are having
    missionaries from Peru that week.  However, are there any other themes
    out there?  
    
    Also, any input on special activities would be appreciated.  I taught
    at a VBS 5 years ago so it has been awhile!!
    
    Thanks,

    Back to Basics is a theme...
    
    Teaching the fundamentals of faith and belief in Christ.
    
    What ages though?

    Would you be interested in what the Southern Baptists use? You could
    call the 800 number (don't know it off hand) and tell them you're
    interested in their VBS stuff. (My mom's church isn't SBC and yet she's
    gotten stuff from them with no problem - they even gave her Sunday
    School material at no charge.)

    If you can find a local Child Evangelism Fellowship office, you might
    check out their resources.  CEF has a *lot* of materials.

    Also, if you'd like, you can talk with our Associate Minister. He is
    presently putting our VBS together... It is called Come Alive Week and
    it takes place in a town called Agape Gutch... This town springs up at
    the south door of our church each year, for one week, then vanishes
    until the following year... BUT the spirit of the town lives all year.
    
    His name is Tim Kirk. He can be reached at 719-599-0476. Reva will be
    the first person to answer the phone.
    
    Give him a call, if you'd like!

    Thanks for the suggestions and I will make some calls.  My only concern
    is that the materials are Christ centered and don't compromise the Word
    of God.  
    
    I have alot of confidence in your judgements.  Thanks to all for the
    help.
    
    In Christ,

    P.S.  Any other ideas, bring them on!!!
