Not Your Mother's Vacation Bible School

Our church has an incredible children's program.   It is called KCRG which stands for:

  K now God
C hoose Well
R each Out
G o Tell

and it is truly what they try to teach the children every Sunday.   This week our church had a Family Worship Experience.   It was what many would call Vacation Bible School but it is the most incredible thing that I have ever been a part of.  We have a house band that rivals anything you see on television, a t-shirt and confetti shooter, flying candy, loud singing and dancing, a stage show, a short message and a time for each family to sit together and talk about what they have seen and heard.  It began last year with Stars in the House and this year continued with Treasures in the House.   The girls (and their friends) learned what their greatest treasure should be.

The night's lesson, "When God Is My Treasure I Worship Him With My Whole Heart"

The kids with the t-shirts they gave out.  They say, "My Greatest Treasure"


What I find interesting about the program is that it is not just a message that the children need to hear, it is a message that every adult needs to hear. 


 Where your treasure lies is where your heart is. Where does your treasure lie?
