Essential Workers of the Bible: Be Essential for Jesus
This four-week at-home VBS helps to engage children and families. With one lesson a week, families don’t have to feel overwhelmed and can spend un-rushed time with biblical stories while reflecting on how they can be essential for Jesus in their everyday lives. Bible stories and interviews with essential workers will be available online and churches can select the amount of materials they will provide to families. At-home activities include things like family reflection questions, scavenger hunts, experiments with everyday household items, activity pages, and resources for parents. Family challenges are designed to help families consider how they can show appreciation for essential workers they encounter. There are also add-on ideas so churches can customize the material to fit their context.
