EPIC Australian Adventure - An Unforgettable Journey with Jesus
G’day Mates! Welcome to Epic Australian Adventure VBS where kids journey through the Bible, God’s Word, and discover that Jesus is the way, and the truth, and the life!
Life is an adventure, filled with wonderful things to see, do, learn, and explore! But as we trek through life, we know we will also encounter troubles and dangers along the way. Jesus is our Savior and faithful guide, who shows us the right way to go and guides us on the path of truth that leads to eternal life.
Kid’s explore five fun-filled Bible stories about Jesus in small groups. We will learn that Jesus calls us through His Word to be His children; that He leads us through this life and gives eternal life through faith in Him. Jesus teaches what it means to love our neighbor because He loved us first. We will learn that Jesus’ death and resurrection saves us and gives us the sure hope of eternal life and lastly Jesus sends us to tell others about Him and promises to be with us.
Each day begins with an Opening in the sanctuary where we will pray, and find out about the day’s story. Then several groups rotate together to five activity sites (crafts, storytelling/exploration, snacks, games and music) for 20 minute sessions. Finally, they go back to the Closing to wrap up each day.
A Christ-centered VBS has lasting impact on our children, families, churches, and communities.
