VBS starts and ends with everyone gathered at the cross to hear God's Holy Word and learn that God's promises are Yes in Jesus! At opening and closing, teams connect, check in, pray, and sing praise to God. VBS opening and closing leaders will work closely with the music leader to incorporate songs during opening and closing. Our song-action videos, theme songs, and memory verse songs prepare children and volunteers for the day ahead. This is also when VBS leaders will share video skits and the mission project and reinforce the day's Bible account, take-home point, and memory verse.
