ABOUT THIS YEAR'S THEME: Come to the Table is a one-week Vacation Bible School (VBS) curriculum that explores five stories about Jesus from the Gospels of Luke and John. These stories show Jesus eating with unexpected people, providing food for a crowd, demonstrating humility, and extending welcome and forgiveness. When you eat with Jesus, anything can happen! The curriculum begins with Jesus’ parable of the great feast and invites children to journey alongside Jesus as he feeds 5,000 people, befriends a tax collector, washes his disciple’s feet, shares his Body and Blood, and both forgives and challenges his friend, Peter. What better way to teach children about the power of the Eucharist than to teach them stories that demonstrate everyone is welcome at God’s table where there is always enough? Come to the Table highlights God’s love and welcome of all people and challenges children to share that same love and hospitality in their everyday lives. Each day begins with the invitation to COME. Children will participate in relationship-building activities, songs, prayer, Bible memory, and a dramatic presentation of the Bible story. Then children will TASTE by rotating through three activity stations and eating a snack. In closing worship, children will be challenged to SHARE the love of God with everyone they meet. This VBS theme can particularly support the goals of the National Eucharistic Revival in the United States.
