One of our readers, Tara Merrill, wanted to share this vacation bible school material. I was really impressed when she sent me the files. I could tell right away that put her heart into writing this curriculum. Here is how she described it in a comment on our site. Be sure to leave a message at the bottom of this page to let her know you appreciate her efforts.
I am 22 years old trying to follow God’s call in my life. I believe He is leading me to write low-cost, Scripture-driven VBS programs. By His grace and will, I wrote one this summer centering on the armor of God passage found in Ephesians 6:11-18. It is a full program and can be adapted for any church size, as long as people are willing to volunteer. I provide craft and snack ideas, but do not include the actual materials as I believe it is cheaper to purchase the necessary items in one’s own hometown. I also provide drama scripts and dialog to help guide the leaders.
Please leave your comment below with any ideas for improvements or clarifications that need to be made. Your feedback will help Tara make improvements in future programs.

I run a Children’s Ministry program on Wednesday nights with 50+ kids ages ranging 4 years to 5th grade. We ran this VBS program on Wednesday nights for 5-weeks and the kids absolutely LOVED it. We played the GO FISH video each week as well as sang the song. We made all the body armor pieces out of paper bags each week so the children could hang them on the bedroom doors at home or wall. I wish I could find another 5-week program as fun as this one as our kids love to do different things. They do not really like video curriculum and get board if they are on the same subject for too many weeks. Thank you for this one – we loved it…. Vicki
Sis Tara,
Thank you for allowing God to use you to write VBS curriculum. We are part of a new church plant here in Asia and we sure appreciate the savings we get from not having to buy a curriculum this year. May the Lord bless you more abundantly in all you do !
