We had a great week at VBS! This time, I was in charge of crafts. Here are a few fun things we did.
WELCOME: As children come in ask; have you ever had a day so bad that you wanted to get in a boat and sail to a beach somewhere far away? Do you think God’s love could still find you there? What about in a boat? A school bus? Your room?
PRAYER: Thank you God, for reminding us that we can’t outrun, outswim, or outsail Your love. Help us to draw closer to You through our time together. Amen
INTRO: Hold up the Bible. Say: This is the Bible. In it are instructions and true stories to remind us of how He loves and cares for us. There are a few people in this book who tried to outrun, or outsail, God’s love and directions. One of them was Jonah. He tried very hard to escape God. But, God’s love found him at the bottom of the ocean. God had a fish scoop him up to keep him safe. What do you think it was like in the belly of a big fish?
CRAFT #1: SENSORY BAG. This craft will remind everyone about how no one is too far from God’s love. By the end of the craft, you’ll have a squishy reminder of what it might have been like in the belly of a big fish.
CRAFT #2: SHAVING CREAM OCEAN. This craft will reinforce the idea that the ocean is deep and wide, but still not as big as God’s love for you.
TAKEAWAYS: No matter where you are, you are never far from God’s love.
Let me know if you try any of these AND if you found a way to keep that bag from leaking🤣.
