Each Day Will Include 1. A Bible Story ( will include a written Bible story but also access to recorded video Bible stories for each day) 2. Several Craft Activities 3. Active Games Each day may also include an experiment and/or a snack idea

We will create VBS take home packets that will include the supplies families need for each path. Each kit will include supplies for all five paths, so that families are able to do all five if they wish (giving them 5 weeks of activities!). We will pick a few times to go live on zoom or other online platform during the actual week of VBS, with experiments and other fun activities.
