CPH VBS Editor Pam Nummela encourages congregations to “give your students a VBS with purpose! ‘Amazing Desert Journey’ has a real theme right out of the Bible that allows kids to connect our real Jesus with real life.”
The Starter Kit ($129.99, item no. 321243WEB) includes a Director Guide, a Preschool Leader Guide (both with CDs), a publicity sample pack, and materials for openings & closings (with Opening Skit DVD), storytelling, music, Bible challenges, crafts, snacks and games. Also included are recruitment tools and leader job descriptions, as well as craft samples.
The Passalong CD ($4.99, item no. 321285WEB) contains all of the VBS songs — including the Preschool and Bible Memory Verse songs — that children can take home after the program has ended.
The 2012 VBS focuses on The Lord’s Prayer, with songs, activities and lessons woven into each petition of the prayer. Daily memory verses reinforce the elements of the prayer so that young participants who aren’t familiar with The Lord’s Prayer can learn it.
CPH encourages congregations that use the program to forward their VBS offerings to the LCMS Project: Clean Water for well-digging and water-purification projects around the world. Learn more about the project at www.lcms.org/vbs.
