I want to share with you my excitement for our upcoming Vacation Bible School, “Welcome to the Neighborhood,” which will take place August 2-5 from 9 am-12pm.
Taking inspiration from Fred Rogers and his show, “Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood,” I have been creating a curriculum that focuses on neighbors near and far. We will be using boxes to “build” a neighborhood. We will have homes, houses of worship, libraries, farms, and maybe even a rainforest or an Eiffel Tower. Who knows? Our children’s imaginations are limitless. We will weave this together with music, games, and stories of faith about people who were good neighbors: helping their friends, showing hospitality, welcoming the stranger, and how the Holy Spirit used the disciples to connect people from all corners of the earth. The fact that we will be back in person for this event makes me even more excited!
If you are interested in helping with VBS in any way, please let me know. I will find a way for you to join in the fun! In the meantime, keep collecting those boxes and feel free to ask any questions you may have. I cannot wait for VBS! Gathering with the children again in this way will definitely make it “A beautiful day in the neighborhood.”
