We are so glad you are considering joining us for Online VBS 2021!
Below you will find some general information on how to get started.
***Please let us know that you will be using our Online VBS Resources for copyright purposes. Let us know the date of your VBS and the number of students who will be attending.
STEP 1
-
Begin Online registration
Find out who and how many children will participate in your online VBS.​ You can do it through email, text message, or online sign ups like:
​
-
Share information with your church and families
-
Decide whether you want to do a 5 week VBS (Each week, we cover 1 Day's theme and stations. Starting Sunday with online worship and Monday to Friday 20mins of 1 station each day)
-
Or if you will do a 1 week only VBS.
​
*Although CMI will offer all the VBS Station videos to use, remember that parents will ultimately be the one's working with the child at home. So to do a traditional 3hr/day VBS rotation with all the stations, would be too much work and transition for parents. That is why we opted for a 20min 1 station/day option.
​
​
​
​
STEP 2
-
Order your materials.
We will be using Group's Imagination station crafts. Ordering through Group.com or Concordiasupply.com will save you money and its free shipping for $50 and over.
​
​
​
We will be using the following materials during the 5 weeks of VBS.
​​
-
Customize your VBS bags
The material list we provide
is the minimum materials
required in the home to do
our VBS activities. If you
want to add additional items
like Memory buddies or
tshirts, or handkerchief, you
can do so.
-
Plan out your Distribution strategy for VBS packets. See our sample.
