Making the Switch

 

This year VBS will be called The Switch.  Why the switch?  Well, I was listening to a sermon about when you learn a language.  If you meet someone who speaks that language (let's say Spanish), you hear what they say to you in Spanish, you have to translate it to English in your mind, then think of a response in English and then translate it to Spanish back to them.  When you make the switch, you are able to hear the words in Spanish and then immediately respond in Spanish - not translating!  You then have made the switch!  This is our desires for our children at VBS.  We want them to know scriptures in their hearts and to be able to respond to situations in a way that is automatically Christ like.  We want them to make the switch from what the world says is ok to how God has called them act.  In the online class I was taking, I was able to learn some really awesome language techniques that helped me think of ways we can make our VBS verse stick in their hearts.  I can't wait to get everything ironed out and for June 9th to get here!!  Romans 12:2 - Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
