VBS for Preteen? Say, “Yes” to VBX!

By Bill Emeott

The Saddle Ridge Ranch training from Lifeway has come to an end. We finished the month strong in Nashville, even in the midst of 7-9 inches of snow. Here are few pictures from Saturday:

I so enjoyed teaching the "Enlisting and Appreciating" conference this year. Here’s the 14th group I taught this month!

VBX: Vacation Bible School for Preteens, is really a cool opportunity to include your 5th and 6th graders in VBS. VBX allows preteen to experience VBS in a special and unique way. Unique Preteen Bible Studies and rotations help these tweens feel special and not one of the "kids." Jeff Land led the VBX conferences this year during our North Carolina and Nashville events.

Bottom Line:  Preteen 5th and 6th graders are a valuable part of our church ministry. They deserve our attention and the effort it takes to include them in VBS,

What do you do to include 5th & 6th graders in your VBS?
