VBS at Hope Community

VBS 2018

Each day at Shipwrecked VBS, kids traveled through rotations that reinforce relevant Bible Points and immerse kids in new adventures.  The goal is to anchor kids in the truth that Jesus carries them through life’s storms.

On Day 1, we met a character named Hope.  He taught us the Bible Point, “When you’re lonely … Jesus rescues!  It’s based on a key Bible Verse: “The Lord will hold me close” from Psalm 27:10.  This was taught based on the Bible Story: Jesus tells parables about lost things from Luke 15.

On Day 2, we met a toucan named Beacon.  He taught us the Bible Point, “When you worry … Jesus rescues!  It’s based on a key Bible Verse: “The Lord comes to rescue each time” from Psalm 34:19.  This was taught based on the Bible Story: Martha worries and complains from Luke 10: 38-42.

On Day 3, we met a stingray named Rae.  He taught us the Bible Point, “When you struggle … Jesus rescues!  It’s based on a key Bible Verse: “Be still, and know that I am God!” from Psalm 46:10.  This was taught based on the Bible Story: Jesus’ friends try to rescue him in the garden of Gethsemane from Luke 22 and Matthew 26.

On Day 4, we met another colorful character named Guac.  He taught us the Bible Point, “When you do wrong … Jesus rescues!  It’s based on a key Bible Verse: “Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows.  But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” from John 16:33.  This was taught based on the Bible Story: Jesus welcomes a criminal before dying and coming back to life from Luke 23-24.

On the final day (Day 5), we met a sloth named Moe.  He taught us the Bible Point, “When you’re powerless … Jesus rescues!  It’s based on a key Bible Verse: “This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead” from Ephesians 1:19-20.  This was taught based on the Bible Story: Peter and John heal a lame man in Jesus’ name from Acts 3:1-26.
