Kids will have an exciting new challenge at VBS in 2010. At High Seas Expedition, kids will be on the look-out for God Sightings™. Kids and adults will get caught up in the excitement of finding places and situations where they see God in action—or ways they can be a God Sighting!

Each day during Sail Away Cinema, Crews will share their latest God Sightings. Then Crew Leaders will write their Crew's God Sightings on special map marker stickers and add them to a fun God Sightings map. By the end of your VBS, everyone will literally see a trail of evidence that God is at work in our world!

God Sightings

Help kids see what God is doing all around us!

A burning bush…an assault of plagues…Jesus’ resurrection. The Bible tells us God performed big stuff—miracles—to make himself known. But he’s acting in our everyday lives and all around us, too. Help children understand that. Lead them to see the world differently, with God Sightings!

How It Works

Kids will keep an eye out for “God in action” in their everyday lives—they’ll even notice the daily demonstrations of his love that are often overlooked…

• Find four powerful things God made.
• Look for someone showing God’s love at a sporting event.
• Take a long drink of cold water—and thank God for providing the water you need to stay alive.

…and they’ll discover how they can be a God Sighting by showing Christ’s love.

• Place a fun treat or note on a family member’s pillow.
• Give a smile to someone who doesn’t have one.
• Share an extra-delicious chocolate chip cookie.

No matter what station they're exploring, kids will hear the daily Bible Point–and experience it in a new way! At High Seas Expedition, the daily Bible Point is carefully integrated into each station’s activities to reinforce Bible learning. Each activity is an important part of kids’ overall learning experience—kind of like the pieces of a puzzle.

Day 1 – God's word is true
Day 2 – God's word is comforting
Day 3 – God's word is surprising
Day 4 – God's word life-changing
Day 5 – God's word is for everyone

Operation Kid to KidTM - The 2010 Operation Kid-to-Kid missions program warms hearts and minds and allows children to share the joy of God’s love. Kids will learn what it means to help others as they create a Prayer Bear that says “Jesus” in English, Spanish, and French. Plus, everyone can personalize a Survivor's Bible to send along with the Prayer Bear to an orphan in Africa. Join us in one of the world’s largest forces mobilizing kids in serving others around the world.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL UPDATE
We will be making blankets to go to children. The cost of each blanket is $15. Donations for the cost of the blankets would be greatly appreciated. Please make sure it is marked clearly on your giving envelope.

We are still looking for Crew Leaders for the morning VBS.

We need someone to coordinate the Evening VBS. This is for youth in grades 6-8. You may contact Ashley S. for the “VBS Idea Book”.
