Sunday School Publishing Board Introduces 2009 Vacation Bible School Theme

Feb. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- The Xtreme Spiritual Makeover VBS series helps us focus on helping individuals reach their highest potential by challenging them to completely renovate the way they think and behave. This year’s Vacation Bible School has messages that are illustrations of the biblical and practical steps necessary for one to holistically improve in every area of his or her life. This is an easy-to-follow blueprint for being stronger, more influential Christians, and better individuals overall.

Make plans now for this year’s Vacation Bible School:  Xtreme Spiritual Makeover—Jesus the Master Builder! The Sunday School Publishing Board invites churches and children’s groups to join us with this year’s groundbreaking series. The story characters—Eddie Engineer, Freddy Foreman, Annie Architect, Carrie Carpenter, Evan Electrician, and Peter Plumber—are the complete makeover team! Participants are given lessons on how Christ changes us and makes us new, giving us spiritual (inner) beauty through the metaphor of construction, building, and rebuilding. Kids celebrate life in Christ via the Theme Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV):  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Each lesson includes a clear Gospel presentation plus teaching for the students. Lesson books include large, beautifully colored visuals with text for easy reference, plus a contemporary story with teaching tips to help all of us remember the truths of God’s Word.

Michael Woolridge, VBS Coordinator, said, “Sometimes we need makeovers in our lives—not necessarily physical makeovers but spiritual makeovers. The biblical characters we will be studying all had spiritual makeovers. When they encountered the Master—Jesus—their lives were changed forever. Because of their life-changing experiences they couldn’t keep it to themselves; they had to tell somebody what the Lord had done for them. We believe that the Master is going to touch and change many lives through the use of these materials, and those people are going to be eager to share, like their counterpart, what the Lord has done for them. Makeovers are available to all—free of charge. Seek yours today!”
The upbeat music CD and songbook set the stage for a great gospel celebration! The director’s handbook contains everything necessary to plan, promote, and carry out the greatest VBS ever! Bible lessons and verses, crafts, snacks, learning activities and games, and a teacher-friendly format make this the VBS series you will want for your kids this summer!

The cost-saving “all-in-one” kit includes a promo CD, a director’s planning guide, manuals for each age level, a promotional skit, a pastor’s leaflet, an announcement poster, a button, a bookmark, a pen, a pencil, a ruler, invitations to attend, fliers, certificates, and a plastic construction hat. Vacation Bible School has traditionally been one of the most effective outreach programs a church can have. Now the Sunday School Publishing Board offers churches a cost-effective, colorful, and easy-to-use summer program. The kit retails for just $59.95 for everything you need!
