Three Laws of Vacation Bible School (VBS According to Twitter)

by Tony Kummer | Vacation Bible School Tips | Print | Email

The last few days, I’ve been tracking some of the comments on Twitter about Vacation Bible School. In case you’re wondering, Twitter is like a big public chat + instant messaging website. Twitter makes it easy to connect with people who share your interests. One big interest of mine this time of year is VBS and I use my @TonyKummer account on Twitter to stay current.

Three Laws of Vacation Bible School

After watching these tweets, I noticed several patterns. The more tweets I read the more I was convinced that 3 universal laws operate in every Vacation Bible School. At least according to people on Twitter.

1. VBS is very hard work

vbs-is-hard-work

2. It is sad when VBS ends

3. Kids get saved at VBS

Let me add a 4th Law:
Once a VBS-aholic, FOREVER a VBS-aholic!!

Remember…VBS is not about a week…it is about an eternity!

However, some of your ideas I find helpful. I just need to come up with ways to make the community aware of VBS.

Thanks.
