Vacation Bible School is typically one of the largest events of the year in the life of a church. Churches around the country will see record numbers of visitors through their VBS ministry. While VBS is an extremely impactful experience for kids, is it possible to make just as large of an impact with the parents and families after the decorations have come down and the games have ended?
In today's episode of the Kids Ministry 101 podcast, Guest Host, Jeremy Carroll, and special guest, Lauren Bush, discuss how to keep the connection with families after VBS. Jeremy and Lauren emphasize the importance of building relationships and making families feel seen and valued. You'll hear creative ideas for engaging with families from dress-up days, to mobilizing students to invite their friends, and organizing game nights or picnics for families to connect.
We want to encourage ministry leaders to invite others to come alongside them and not feel the pressure to do everything on their own. We hope this episode encourages you! Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend!
