Eternal VBS

Why can't everyday be like Vacation Bible School?

There are many kids at Dauphin Way this week for VBS at the "Circle G Ranch." There is incredible excitement from the children, from the parents, from the youth who are helping. It seems that it is one of the most focused times of intentional theology that we have. Sure, it may simply be "God loves you" or "Jesus is the way." But VBS is unapologetic in the message and is very intentional about how the message is presented: through song, through hands-on crafts, through focused mission, through creative storytelling.

Some churches have done a great job of taking these various ways of sharing the message and integrating them into the regular program of children's discipleship. That is phenomenal. Create VBS all the time.

Here is my question, though: Adults love VBS, too. Why can't we make VBS for Adults a part of our regular Adult discipleship?
