VBS Staff Training

Thank you to everyone who attended the Crew Leader Staff Training on Sunday. Here is some important information we went over:

-You'll have a crew of 3 to 5 mixed-age children.
-Each day children will choose a job to do within the crew.
-You'll begin in Sonic Sing & Play (the sanctuary).
-Then you'll rotate to the different station according to your daily schedule.
-Station Leaders will use a "Lab Blaster" as an attention-getting signal.
-Each day will have a Bible Point which will be repeated often, throughout the day.
-When you and the kids hear the Bible Point, you respond by saying "Aha!" and pointing your pointer finger up.
-It is important for YOU to participate, not just the children. It encourages them to get involved and excited!
-Make sure to follow the directions as much as possible. Power Lab was written for each part to work together!
-When discussing something as a crew, make sure to circle up, don't just allow kids to stand against a wall. This will maximize everyone' experience at Power Lab.
-Each day during snack, children will pick a daily challenge to put their faith into action. Then the next day during Sonic Sing and Play, your crew will discuss what they did, and place a "Daily challenge bubble" (balloon) in the beaker.
-Remember that VBS is more than learning stories and memorizing verses, it's experiencing God's love. Ask yourself this question each day...Would Jesus treat a child this way?
-Please see Amity for a Manual with more tips and information.
-Let's all pray for the children who will meet Jesus at Power Lab!
