I just had to share how excited I am about VBS this year. Its nothing fancy but the message is so good. So if anyone out there is looking for a really good curriculum for your youth and your adults then you might be interested in God's Big Backyard ( I am posting this after reading this post, and since I am not a pastor...I figure I would post it on my own blog). Its all about service....to your family, to your church, friends, community and especially to Jesus. The feedback I have gotten from the "powers that be" (LOL) is that they are looking forward to sharing the message with our congregation. I know many of the more modern churches no longer hold VBS as we know it ( not that they don't offer alternatives ). That is not an option where I am, but this year I was determined to find a curriculum that wasn't just "flashy" but that actually had a message that could reach people where they are (and hopefully make them think about God's true purpose for our lives). This will most likely be my last year as Director so I'm praying that some of the lessons will stay with our church members ( and hopefully guest to our church ) for a long time to come.

I wish I lived in your town! My girls would love this. I have sent my girls to VBS the last couple of years at various churches, and they didn't even like it because it was just CRAZY. They like to know there is a purpose to what's going on. Have fun!
