opportunity to share what
was learned with our young
people all in the spirit of
brotherly and sisterly love. I
can truly say that the Spirit
was in the mist.
My entire family
enjoyed vacation bible
school. We even had discus
sions at home about what we
covered in class.
It was wonderful to see
my three young sons chime
into the conversation by
enthusiastically sharing what
they got out of the teaching
for that night.
As an educator, what I
found to be most impressive
was the way the topic for
each evening was supported
by materials that were age
appropriate. For example,
the adult class used handouts
that included scriptures and
supplemental readings which
tied into the major theme for
the evening.
The children's class
made use of coloring and cut
out pages along with support
ing scriptures to highlight the
topic.
This made for a very
powerful learning experience
where individuals were able
to make connections between
what the scriptures revealed
and their life experiences.
