HOW DOES OUTER SPACE TIE IN WITH BIBLE TEACHINGS AT GALACTIC BLAST VBS 2010?

Session One - The Creation Story
Space Object: Earth
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded of all God has created - both seen and unseen.
Praise Phrase: Our God is wonderful! Praise God!

Session Two - God is with Elijah at Mt. Horeb
Space Object: the moon
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded that God is always with them just like the moon is always next to the earth, even when it can't be seen.
Praise Phrase: Our God is incredible! Praise God!

Session Three - Jesus knows the woman at the well
Space Object: the stars
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded when they look into a star-filled sky that God has created and knows each star just as God has created and cares for each one of them.
Praise Phrase: Our God is amazing! Praise God!

Session Four - Jesus heals a blind beggar
Space Object: a comet
Biblical Connection: Children are reminded that a comet is nothing more than a dirty snowball in outer space until it comes close to the sun and transforms into a brilliant glow in the sky just as their lives are transformed as they grow into a deeper relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Praise Phrase: Our God is magnificent! Praise God!

Session Five - Jesus appears on the road to Emmaus
Space Object: a supernova
Biblical Connection: Children learn that a super nova is an exploding star giving birth to new stars just as Jesus’ life and resurrection gives new birth to all who believe in him.
Praise Phrase: Our God is awesome! Praise God!

Procedures for Safe Ministry at Vacation Bible School

Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance to us, therefore we follow the procedures below:

1. The “Two-Adult Rule”.

There will be 2 adults present at all times.

2. Numbered Wristbands.

Children will be given a numbered wristband and parents will be given a matching numbered wristband. When the child is picked up, parents much show their wristband whose number matches the child’s wristband. No child will be released to an adult without the matching wristband.

3. No Workers under the age of 18 without adults present.

No child will be supervised by youth without adults present.
