Voyagers VBS 2019
Corner Fringe VBS 2019 has finished with a blast! What a fun week with these kiddo's! The Space theme this year was a hit. I will give a general overview of our week, but if you would like more details, please leave me your email address and I will send over the lesson plans! Enjoy!
When doing a VBS, the more organized you are the smoother things will go. It's not all in the lesson plan. Here are some ideas for pre-set up VBS!
- Have Table set up with fun props displaying your theme. As well as Sign up forms and flyers.
 |
| This was on the VBS table and counted down the days to VBS |
-Have a sign up sheet for supplies you need for VBS. This allows the congregation to get involved and ease the church budget.
-Have a sign up sheet for volunteers (Adult and Teens). I had 2 adults per small group room and assigned teens with them. Also assign Nursery Teachers, to watch littles so the parents can teach.
-When setting up for VBS, enlist help and have a prepared check list to help delegate tasks.
- Have a VBS Volunteer meeting once you have all your helpers. Talk about check-in procedures, room assignments, schedule of events, allergies,ect.
-T-Shirt sign up and ordering if you choose to do so.
- Assign musical parts. solos, order risers, and learn music 10 weeks before hand(if you choose to do a musical for community)
-Make props, backdrops and puppet stage

VBS is such a highlight for our church community. The kids look so forward to this event. Our children are the future of this church community and I want them to know how we valued them and took the time to teach the word to them. If you would like the full lesson plan for this 4 day , 2hr per day VBS, leave a message with your email and I would love to bless you! Any monetary blessings would be welcome at www.cornerfringe.com
