JUNE 8–12 | 9:30 AM & 6:30 PM | HPPRES.ORG/LIVE

This year we are going on an adventure with Moses as he leads the Israelites through Egypt to the Promised Land. The theme for the entire week is Trusting God. Moses knew from the very beginning of the journey that God was trustworthy and faithful to him. But convincing the Israelites of this was quite a challenge. They whined and complained A LOT! They were not used to traveling for many days in the desert while also struggling to have enough food and water. Moses does have a companion named Malachi for the journey, but he was one of the biggest whiners of them all. He not only whined and complained about everything, he doubted everything that Moses did. The journey was very hard for Moses, but he never gave up and continued to lead the people even when he felt like he was alone. He is an excellent example of faith and perseverance. HERE’S HOW VBS WILL LOOK THIS YEAR Hang in there parents–we are giving you many options so you can choose what works best for your family. Each day will consist of 5 sections: • Lesson for the Day • Make the Lesson Fun • Where is Jesus in this Story? • Summary of the Day • Prayer Time Each of these sections will help your family experience the daily lesson in different ways. For some additional fun, choose a name for your family based on the 12 tribes of Israel: Asher, Benjamin, Dan, Gad, Issachar, Joseph, Judah, Levi, Naphtali, Reuben, Simeon, or Zebulun. LESSON This section is where you will view the video which includes a fun worship time and the story for the day. You will receive an email prior to that particular day so you can be ready. The video will be live at hppres.org/live at 9:30 am and at 6:30 pm every day. You can log on at this time to join the Highland Kids staff or you can view it anytime during the day on Facebook or YouTube to fit into your family’s schedule.

MAKE THE LESSON FUN This section is where the lesson will come to life. These are activities from the Israelite Camp that kids would be visiting if we were on campus for VBS. Each activity is taken from one of the characters that occupied the Israelite camp. You will visit the Musician, Butter Churner, Camp Cleaner, Weaver, Sand Artisan, Rope Maker, and the Camel Hearder. Most of the supplies for these activities are in your blue bag. There are a few supplies we were unable to supply. They are listed below so that you can gather them before each day. Choose to do the activities that will work best for your family. Each activity that requires supplies is in its own plastic bag along with the instructions. THESE ARE THE ITEMS YOU WILL NEED FOR EACH DAY THAT ARE NOT PROVIDED Monday • Stapler to make tambourines for Musician • Plate or bowl, water, dish soap, and black pepper for Red Sea experiment Tuesday • Cream to make butter for the Butter Churner • Dirty dishes for the Camp Cleaner • Frosted Flakes for the “Create a Fun Snack” Wednesday No extra supplies needed. Thursday No extra supplies needed. Friday There are suggested items for the Scavenger Hunt but you can adjust those for your family. EACH BLUE BAG OR BOX WILL CONTAIN (there are instructions for each activity in the clear bag) • Bandanas–used every day to signify you are part of a tribe • Gospel Handout–This can be used every day in the “Where is Jesus in this Story?” section. This is an excellent tool to always have available when questions about faith and Jesus arise. • Tambourine supplies–paper plates and beads. Feel free to decorate these with markers also. You can use the tambourine every day during the worship time if you want. (Day 1) • Plastic jar for making butter (Day 2) • Bubba’s gift card to get biscuits for the butter (Day 2) • Construction paper, pipe cleaners, ribbon for the Weaver (Day 3) • Clay, jewels, beads, and buttons for the Sand Artisan (Day 4) • List of 10 Commandments–2 copies, 1 copy you will cut each commandment into strips for the game (Day 4) • Rope for the Rope Maker (Day 5) • Tipped yarn, pony beads, antique beads, and jumbo bell for the Camel Herder (Day 5) WHERE IS JESUS IN THIS STORY? When we look, we find Jesus in every story in the Bible. This section helps you help your family see Jesus in each of our 5 adventures with Moses. Some great conversations will come out of this section.

SUMMARY OF THE DAY This section helps tie together the lesson and activities of the day with intentional and thoughtful questions and summarizing points. It is always exciting for the kids and for you when you see the pieces begin to come together.

CLOSE IN PRAYER This section has a brief prayer to help wrap up the lesson and remind us why and how to Trust God. Feel free to use the daily prayer provided or prayer as you feel your family being led.
