41. Subject: VBS Success
I want to thank those who worked so hard proving the materials and praise God for a successful VBS. We had classes for kids ages 2 through 6th grade. Our high number was 43 mates on Tuesday night, with 13 in the kindergarten class alone! We also had an adult class with average participation of about 16. I received many comments from members that this was the best VBS they had seen in a while. We took many, (view photos) and provided an awesome slide show for the closing program. Thanks again! The week was awesome overall, but, must importantly, we had four professions of faith this week! Can't beat that for highlights!

I am doing the craft for VBS and since there is no crafts for the young teens, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Our Bible School is July 30--August 4. Thanks.

I wanted to write and thank all of you who had a part in writing the materials and putting this all together. As the preschool/kindergarten teacher and also the music director for VBS this year I truly enjoyed studying the material and learning the music before hand. This was the first year that we sang the music that went with the theme and the children loved the songs! My children are still listing to the CD they love it so much. Thank you again for all of your hard work.

38. Subject: Snacks/Crafts
Hello, every one after reading the message board I noticed a lot of questions about snacks, last year we went to our local school board and was provided with a snack lunch, for each kid, thru the school board a summer program they had set up, you have to have a place to store all the food for a week, as you get it all at once, our VBS is July 13-15 this year and any craft idea would be appreciated.

37. Subject: VBS Hooray!
We had a GREAT VBS at West Bauxite Missionary Baptist Church on June 24! It was so obvious that the Lord had prepared the children's hearts, and that was a tremendous blessings. We do rotational, and every single group who came in our class was respectful and listened to every word we said. When we asked review questions after the lesson, each group knew every answer. I say that to encourage those who will soon be having VBS. Keep working and keep praying. It is SO much work, but it is SO worth it! We have kids asking questions about salvation since VBS, so the Lord is still working. I have attached pictures from our day. Hope you all enjoy. A special thanks to Robin Peddy for all the inspiration and information you shared with us during preparation! VBS - Hooray!!!

36. Subject: Lesson 5 Decoration
I found that blowing up large back trash bags and pin them to the ceiling and than take yellow construction paper to cut out lightning bolts make good thunderclouds for lesson 5.

We just had our first night of VBS and we had a record 47 children. We are looking for more to come!

35. Subject: Left Over Decorations
Our church just finished this VBS and we have a lot of really nice decorations left over. We used the Styrofoam panels to do a huge background and also made 7 ft crocodile and a 5 ft kangaroo for the penny collection. Also we did the jeep for the photo op. They are really nice and we hate to throw them all out. If you are in or around the Houston area you can come pick them up. I have pictures. Thanks

Does anyone have any suggestions for a closing program skit? We are doing a one day VBS this year and I am teaching the "Get Ready" lesson. I am responsible for the beginner skit for the closing program and I think the one offered in the curriculum will be too difficult for my 1st & 2nd graders. Any suggestions? HELP!!

32. Subject: Closing Program Ideas
I was thinking about doing a Power Point presentation and hopefully include some video footage of the kids throughout the week to use as the main focus for our closing program. I wonder if anyone has done this. I thought it could be effective to promote it throughout the week as "The Aussie Awards". We would do pledges and let the kids perform the songs, then they could watch the "clips". Kids love to see themselves on "TV" and then we would present the Aussies to the children. Of course, it would be emphasized that Jesus always has the "starring role" in VBS. Another cute wordplay would be to use the term "a star is born...again".

Last year we opted not to do the awards to the volunteers in the closing program to save time and keep the kids from getting fidgety. We had an early supper just for the workers and presented their awards at that time. That worked well and we'll do that again this year.

Also, instead of the typical certificates, we used blank card stock and created a keepsake for each of the kids. It included the logo, theme and synopsis, the dates, a page for a gold star to be added for each day of attendance, and we added little stick-on picture corners and took Polaroids of each child at the photo prop to be added to his/her "certificate". It was a little more work, but relatively simple still and well worth it.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has more ideas for the closing program.

Reply 32. Subject: Closing Program Ideas
The Powerpoint idea for closing program works great. We have been doing it for several years now. We use pictures taken throughout the week of kids in various VBS activities. We've made the mistake also of making it too long. 4-5 minutes (the length of a good song, like "Thank You" by Ray Boltz) works great. With a 3 second delay, you can still show a lot of photos. We show it at the end of the program, on a large projector screen, just before closing remarks from our pastor. It's entitled "The Week In Review" on the programs. It is looked forward to by all as it gives the parents and grandparents the opportunity to see how your church has ministered to their children during the week.

Praying for your VBS,
Robin, Rison, AR

31. Subject: VBS for Juniors
You all have got some great ideas. This is my second year actually Teaching VBS. I am use to working with the Pre-K thru 2nd Grade age group. This year I have taken on a big challenge for myself. My husband and I are going to be teaching the Juniors Class. I thought this would be a good way to let him witness to some children yet stay on a level he can communicate the best with. I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how to just blow the socks off of these Kids. I needs some ideas for teaching, decorating, and crafts that are just Awesome! We are only doing a one day VBS so I am want to make this day one that they will never forget. Thank you so much for any ideas you can pass along.

30. Subject: Thank You
We are in VBS this week (June 12th - 16th). I want to say thank you to the one who had the idea to make didgeridoos out of golf club tubes. We are letting all the kids make one. We have also made "boards" that are approximately 2 ft. by 6 ft. for the kids to paint "Aboriginal artwork" in mural form. Each class has their own 'board'. We then display their work in the sanctuary along with our other decor. It looks really cute. I also found lots of information on www.australia.com  and actually printed off some of it to use as decor in our crafts room. They are more educational type posters, but interesting.

We have a meal every evening before VBS rather than having a snack time. This has worked very well for us, since the majority of our volunteers work as well. We have a kitchen crew that prepares the food, and this year they decorated our fellowship hall in the theme of Crocodile Cafe. It is very cute, and the 'real' meal helps keep us all going rather than being wound up on sugar.

We also are having the adult class this year, and it has been a hit

29. Subject: Jail Scene
Hey Everybody, If you are planning to take on this great task let me share some things if you have not gotten started. We tried to find the styrofoam blocks, no luck. We were stuck on using PVC pipe and tonight we just finished spray painting everything. After all our trials and looking back we suggest that you use skinny slats of wood and attach then to a board across the top, bottom and middle to make two walls. We tried to stand the PVC pipe up with small wood pegs we cut to go inside each end of the PVC pipes. No luck with glue to hold pegs. Gorilla glue did not work either. We ended up gluing each end of PVC pipe to a long slat of wood and tie them more secure with auto plastic ties (like trash bags ties). We will screw the bottom of each wall into the base of our jail which is a 5 by 4 piece of plywood. The two edges of the plywood have a long slat of wood nailed to it for the walls to screw down into. Once my crew member decided to look at this as though she was building a wall things started to fall into place after several mishaps. Our VBS starts Monday night June 12th so we were pressed for time. Our jeep cam out great. We cut it out of plywood also and had to construct a stand to hold it up straight. We used silver and red paint to add detail instead of making it all yellow. We cut out a 5ft 9in Kangaroo. He has a cut out pouch which the Mates will put their mission offering through so it can fall down into a basket behind the Kangaroo. Good luck all. If i get a chance to post our pictures I will. Praise God for a job completed and awaiting the mates next week. Does anybody know the theme for next year of the lesson setting? We wish the information was out sooner because our VBS is early and we were pressed for time.

26. Subject: Room Decorations
I am teaching the Junior class for VBS. One idea that I have for room decorations, is to use an artificial tree, and put a stuffed koala bear in it. Also I am trying my best to find an inflatable kangaroo. I have done a Google search on it, and you would be surprised at how hard it is to find one. I live in AR. and there is an Australian themed store in Little Rock on JFK, and he is trying to get one for me. I want it to be at least 4 or 5 feet tall. Also I am going to get an inflatable crocodile and put up warning signs (that I will either make or buy from the Aussie store) The one thing that I'm having problems with is my bulletin board (for some reason I can't decide how to do it) I'm using the idea that my teachers guide suggest, but I don't know where to begin with it, because all the pictures are small, so I'll have to use an overhead projector, and our church doesn't have one....( I may buy one from ebay or see if the school will let me borrow one) For crafts we are making a bird house out of a 1/2 gallon milk carton. A didgeridoo from the PVC pipe. Boomerangs from thin plywood (that I am pre-cutting) A burlap style bag (fits under mattress on bed, and hangs off the side) Those are the only crafts we are doing, bc the birdhouse will be a two day job. Good luck to everyone who is working in Bible school. I know that God will bless all our efforts.....

This is my first year teaching a class for VBS. I will be teaching the primary class. I was just wondering if you could give me some ideas to help make the class as interesting as possible. I was also wanting to know if anyone had any ideas for decorating the classes that would be cheap but look really good? We're a small church so we can't afford to spend alot on decorating. Thanks so much?

24. Subject: Crocodile Snack Ideas
For all of those out there that like the snack idea for lesson one found in the director's book but don't have the time to back.....here's a short cut. Look for Nutter Butter peanut shaped peanut butter cookies at your local store along with a bag of small round candies (ie: M&M's, Reese's Pieces, Red Hots, etc.) and a bag a Cake Make Easy Squeeze White Cake Frosting (along a decorating tip). Everything just mentioned can be purchased at Wal-mart and found within a isle or two. Place your cookies on a plate, squeeze out enough icing on the top of the widest end of the cookie, enough to set a pair of eyes (use the candy of your choosing), then squeeze out some icing along the edge of the narrower end to make some dangerous looking teeth and some nostrils if you want....be creative. You'll have the same crocodile look in half the time.

We love VBS and this year's theme is amazing!! We go all out for decorations and have lots of ideas to share. Food-vegimite sandwiches (just kidding). Here is a website that one of our church members (Megan Parker) found that has some great ideas: http://www.dltk-kids.com/world/australia/

For wall decorations we line our walls with paper (color of your choice) purchased at a school supply store and then paint the life-size scenery using the overhead projector. We also go on Oriental Trading company for inexpensive craft ideas. We used a PowerPoint presentation last year and included a synopsis of each lesson and then photos of all of the kids. If you would like a copy of last year's presentation you may email me your address.

We have our VBS in the evening from 6-8pm and we will run our bus this year each night. We also use the materials a bit differently from other churches. We (the teachers) learn only one lesson. We rotate the kids to different classes and different teachers each evening. We LOVE it this way. This way we can really go all out on decorating just one room each. It makes it better on the teachers.

22. Subject: VBS Messages
I was just scanning some of the messages on the board and so much quickly entered my mind. This is my 2nd year with this publisher and it is great. Check www.OrientalTrading.com  for props. There is a store here in Arkansas called Everything Australia http://everythingaustralian.com  and they have a website as well. Wonderful store and website. I ordered some inflatable from www.thebigzoo.com   Wonderful stuff. Check out the Serta website for counting sheep to purchase. I have not spent a great deal of money. We drew our Kangaroo and Jeep on large pieces of plywood using an overhead projector. They are awesome. We cut the 3-D props out of cardboard, good also. There are so many snacks and arts and craft ideas in the lesson packs. Last year I added, will not do that this year. Everything is in the program material. Check oriental trading for supplies. I ordered flags from the internet. They were about $1.40 each. Made letters for song READY SHARE... use Microsoft Word, get letters as large as can on sheet of tag or paper and then glue on tag, laminate. Good luck everybody. We are taking it to another level this year and my Pastor and church are on fire and anticipating this event next month.

I have held several training meetings and the faithful few come. We color our scenes on twin sheets, cut kangaroo and jeep out so far, our mission outreach offering will purchase Christmas items for local nursing home where we have members as residents. All who went to Texarkana are on fire and just full of excitement. This is year two for me as VBS director and I am loving this outreach event.

16. Subject: VBS Offering Project:

As many of you know, we have been on the Mission Field in Australia since 1969.  And although there have been a number of missionaries associated with our work come and go,  as far as I am aware,  I am the only active ABA associated missionary remaining in Australia.

I understand the mission field selected for the focus of the VBS material this year is Australia.  I have had a number of Pastors/VBS Directors contact me about furnishing appropriate information to be helpful in their Vacation Bible Schools.  I would be pleased to help as many as possible.

At the present time we are working on  a DVD, approximately 15 - 20 minutes in length, to furnish to those who would wish to use it.  Alternatively,  we can offer a Power Point presentation.  These presentations will contain footage of the unique fauna and flora of Australia as well as information about the history and culture of the country.  It will also contain a brief history of our work in Australia in establishing a number of churches and missions, as well as the challenge for the future.  We will utilize slides, photos and video footage covering this history.

A young man, Andrew Horsten,  who is quite skilled in IT and media matters and   who helps me in ministry,  has obtained a professional camera and equipment that we are using in recording our services and developing evangelistic outreach and discipleship materials.  This equipment and his expertise will be used for the DVD/Power Point presentations.

I can email helpful photos to anyone who would like them and could print them out for use.   I am also willing to obtain Australiana items, such as small boomerangs, flags and posters etc. and mail them.   I would only ask that any church wishing this,  help a bit with expense and postage.   Since Air Mail can take 7 - 14 days,  it would be important to let me know as early as possible what you would like to have etc.

I have also been asked about a Special Project.   We are in the process of purchasing a van/bus/camper to use in our Outback Outreach Ministry.  This will be used in ministry here as well as in distributing tracts and discipleship materials,  including our DVD materials to more outlying  areas in Queensland in particular.  Offerings for this project may be sent to our sponsoring church,  Grace Baptist,  Bowie, MD.  Designated for Australian Missions - Outback Outreach Fund.

5. Subject: Sheets
This idea was passed on to us at the VBS seminar in Harrison. It was suggested that you contact local hotels and ask them to donate the sheets they are about to discard. You can use those sheets to paint scenes on. I contacted a local hotel. The first of April they will be replacing their entire supply of sheets. They are going to call me when they get the new ones in. I don't know how many I will have, but I am sure that there will be more than we will need. If anyone would like to have some of the sheets they can e-mail me and we can make arrangements for them to have some. You may also contact hotels in your area. The one I contacted was extremely happy that I called. She said that they have trouble finding a place to take the old sheets. She also told me that allot of the sheet are in great condition. They are just being replaced by corporate.

1. Subject: Didgeridoo
I recently purchased some didgeridoo music from a merchant on Ebay who specializes on these instruments and this type of music. I e-mailed him to inquire on inexpensive and easy methods to make one......here is his response:

"I've done this with some of my school workshops where the kids make instruments. Pretty easy to do and cheap to boot! Is to get golf club tubes (tubes you put in the golf bag to organized your clubs). Golf club tubes are about 3' long and made of plastic and work as nice cheapo starter didges (usually around a buck in cost), there's even an end on them that works perfect as the mouthpiece end so no need to deal with messy wax. I've either suggested taping butcher paper around them or contact paper so the kids can draw or paint artwork on them."

(I got one of these tubs from someone in our church who golfs. It's black, light weight plastic and could be painted on without first covering with paper if bright colored paints are used. I found them on-line for 85c each and you can purchase from Walmart, but I don't know their (Walmart's) price.
