Vacation Bible School

Posted by Russ Ray on July 6, 2008

I’ve previously mentioned my participation in our church’s Vacation Bible School program, but I wanted to put this up here in case anyone in the area was interested:

If you live near the west side of Indianapolis and would like to have your kids attend a week of Vacation Bible School, my church (Ben Davis Christian) will be having ours from July 14-17. If you want to sign up your children (or grandchildren), go to www.bendavisonline.org

This year’s theme is “Jesus Is My Superhero” and is based in a comic book world. I wrote the script for the four days worth of plays that deal with how the superheroes we see in modern pop culture are probably not really the heroes that we think they are. Instead, we talk about some heroes in the Bible that the kids should learn from.

I’m not sure how much of that the kids will get… they’ll probably just go for the fight scenes and the web shooting and stuff, but it was worth a shot to delve into that with the Iron Man, Hulk, and Batman movies out this summer. And, yours truly will have a cameo at some point as a raving lunatic monster that rampages across the city. It should be a lot of fun, and it will be neat to see the kids react to it. I’ve missed the last couple of years I wrote VBS when we did the pirate theme and stuff, but I’m going to get to see the whole thing this year.

Anyway, if you’re interested, go to the link and sign them up. I believe it is free to register, but if you want to get your child a T-shirt, it’s something like $6 or $8 I think.
