VBS is next week for my church. A week that has the potential for much life transformation across a generation of our church (and culture.) As with every year, I desire for kids' lives to be eternally altered and not simply emotionally hyped for a time. it seems like each year VBS can become bigger and bigger: bigger props, more decorations. I understand the philosophy, and have subscribed to it, that churches need ministry environments which capture the attention of kids in a manner similar to other envioronments in our culture. But this year, I'm doing an experiment. I'm going with the phrase: Less for More. Except for the opening Worship Rally room, there are no decorations; no tables (except in the craft room), no chairs, no crazy lighting; no costumes; no smoke machines - just God's people being the church in such a manner that the kids who come remember the people they met who have a relationship with the God of the universe (and they can too).
Let's see what God does.
All Aboard,
Bnall
