VBS Seminars (2012)

There are several VBS Seminars scheduled around the country for VBS 2012. Bogard Press presents the Publisher’s Seminar the last Saturday of February every year. This year the Publisher’s Seminar will be on Saturday, February 25, 2012 in Texarkana, Arkansas. More info will be posted soon.

Several VBS Seminars are hosted by churches who invite Bogard Press to come and sell VBS materials. The churches are in charge of their own seminars and workshops; Bogard Press brings the materials to display. You can purchase onsite; this helps churches save on postage. Individual seminar schedules and information will be posted online as the info becomes available.

Craft Ideas from the VBS Craft Book

Posted on by

Here is a preview of craft ideas for each lesson.

Lesson 1 JESUS SAVES

In the lesson, we see that Jesus is our life saver. He is the only way to experience eternal life. He chose to take our place on Calvary because He loves us so much. Get onboard with Him. His is the only way!

 

 

Lesson 2  JESUS LEADS

This handprint train is a reminder that Jesus leads His sheep by His loving hand. He will never lead us wrong. In fact, we are guaranteed to stay on track when we follow Him.

 

Lesson 3  JESUS CARES

The students will be able to draw different fears or cares they may have on this light switch cover, but in the center will be the bold reminder, Jesus Cares. When the lights are out, the words, Jesus Cares, will glow in the dark, reminding the student that he has nothing to fear.

 

 

 

 

Lesson 4  JESUS LIVES

As this popcorn pops to life on the stove, it will serve as a reminder to the student and the parents of Jesus’ ability to conquer death on His own. The popcorn requires an outside source of power to pop to life, but Jesus has the power to conquer all death from within.

 

 

 

 

Lesson 5  JESUS RETURNS

The students learned so many wonderful things this week and have experienced sweet moments of learning God’s Word. The things they have experienced are worth sharing. This sweet letter gives the student an opportunity to share what he has learned with someone else and opens the door for sharing more.

 

 

 

The craft book features a variety of crafts for each lesson and for all age-groups. A great resource for VBS.  X85712

Recruiting VBS Workers

It’s time to recruit VBS Workers. The Director’s Plan Book has a section called “Recruiting” that will help the VBS Director. There you will find a checklist (see excerpt below) that will help the Director recruit the right people for the right jobs.

The checklist also gives the Sunlight Express thematic names for those positions. For instance, the VBS Director is the Station Master.

The VBS Director’s Checklist

The VBS Director plays a key role in Vacation Bible School. The Director is involved in determining the VBS format and schedule, recruiting other workers, overseeing daily VBS activities, keeping up with the budget and spending, working with decorating and cleanup, promoting VBS and following up after VBS, etc.

Here is a VBS Director’s Checklist to help the Director (from pages 16 and 17 in the Director’s Plan Book).
