Specific help will be given to vacation Bible school leaders, craft instructors, and the leaders of the three divisions—Junior, Primary, and Kindergarten. It is very important that- 1. Each vacation Bible school staff member has his specific assignment and area of work before he or she comes to the Workshop. 2. That the entire vacation Bible school staff attend the Workshop. Even if a church has not completed plans for a vacation Bible school this summer, a good delegation headed by the general superintendent should attend. A whole new schedule of crafts will be offered this year, and craft instructors will have opportunity to make some of the crafts at the Workshop. Each should bring a scissors, sharp knife, pen or pencil, and an apron. Authorization should be secured from the Sabbath School Council or the Church Board to purchase craft supplies, visual aid supplies, and other materials that will be on display at the Workshop. These will be available through the Sabbath school department at special wholesale prices. It will not be necessary to bring money for the purchases, since the department can bill each church for LEADERCRAFT COURSE.—Vallejo Berean Church youth leaders pictured above completed the Senior its supplies.
