Vacation Bible School - the social event of the summer for kids and one of the most difficult for the adults trying to work it. If you're one of those adults, you are not alone in your struggle. Believe it or not, you've actually acquired some skills you may not even know about!
1. Anyone can be a playwright.
Literally anyone can write a script for a Bible story skit. You may not have believed it before, but you do now!
2. Clothing can be made out of anything.
My personal favorite VBS costume I've worn was made out of some old, random fabric that was wrapped around me and then stapled. Anything can be clothes when you need a skit costume. Anything.
3. Not all church kids are as angelic as they seem.
While most of the kids really are great, there's always *that* one that is horrible and tends to lead the rest to be horrible too.
4. Anything can be a decoration.
The trash you've been meaning to take out, look through it. Something useful is probably in there. Pinterest has only fed the monster more. VBS decorations are a trash to treasure affair.
5. There are a very specific set of VBS dance moves.
And all of the music DVDs seem to use them. While it gets boring, at least you don't have to keep learning a new routine.
6. There are a surprising number of random themes that relate back to the Bible
VBS Director: "Yes, hi. This year our theme is the intergalactic mountain climbing cafe's trashcan."You: "This oughtta be good..."
VBS Handbook: *has a surprising number of super relevant and beautiful topics all centered around the bizarre theme*
It may be a pain to put on and hard to make yourself volunteer sometimes, but you loved it as a kid and you know that other little kids deserve a chance to love it too.
