Key Bible Verse: "The Lord lights up my darkness."(2 Samuel 22:29)

How It Works - Weekend VBS Difference

If you don't do VBS today or if the traditional 5-day VBS just isn't working for your church...let Group's
Weekend VBS™ go to work for you!
Rocky the Lobster
Easy Weekend Format

Just two 2½-hour sessions and one Sunday Celebration. You choose the time and days--whatever works best for your church.

Just One Point

Every session of Group's Weekend VBS focuses on the same simple, powerful Point: Shine God's Light!

Projects With a Purpose®

No crafts? Rocky Point Lighthouse has something even better! Kids put God's love into action by making special gifts for others in their church, community, and the world.

Multi-Age

Kids of all ages join Crews with a teenage or adult leader for each day's adventures. It really works, and discipline problems practically disappear.

Sunday Celebration

This morning service for the whole congregation is designed to let the kids shine, as they share what they've learned at VBS. And since no practice is necessary, your job just got even easier!

Daily Bible Content - Discovering God's Word

At Rocky Point Lighthouse, kids learn one important Bible Point, which is reinforced through Bible adventures, a key Bible verse, songs, and hands-on activities. Your VBS kids will also learn about two amazing Bible stories!

Bible Story #1: Jesus heals a blind man. (John 9:1-41)

Bible Story #2: Jesus dies and comes back to life.
(Luke 23:26-24:53)

"The Lord lights up my darkness." (2 Samuel 22:29)
