For our VBS 2020, we did an online VBS so that families could host VBS at home. Below are the videos and lessons from our VBS. Included with each day is a chapel time, Bible lesson, and craft video. Please note, families at our VBS were given craft kits in order to do the craft. We have included simple crafts that you can print out and do at home, but if you are interested in doing the crafts from the videos, use the contact form below and we can help give you ideas and templates.
