vermont Children need to hear the Bible stories.
Who better to reach them than older young people teamed with adult Support
Many churches have a VBS program that tend to reach just their own and a few friends...
What if the church members collectively brainstormed youth groups of the community and strategized how to reach out to them?
For example - What if adults/teens volunteered to assist with
after school programs sharing things they enjoy with children in the schools.
Baking cookies and decorating them Playing board games
Teaching dances Bring baby animals to visit and then you invite them to come to VBS?
OR - What if young people engaged as
assistants with ball teams and invited the team to come to VBS?
assisted with a scout troop or 4 H group and invited them to come to VBS?
engaged in fun events with special needs students - Special Olympics coaches...
and then invited those children to join you at VBS?
