Kids love museums! There are science museums, ancient artifact museums, natural history museums, art museums, and lots of hand-on museums. Museums are places where we can learn all sorts of fun and exciting things and where we can view the old and look at the new. This museum VBS course is about a museum called the Bible Discovery Museum. Just as the name implies, here we make interesting discoveries about the Bible because, “everything that was written in the past was written to teach us.” This imaginary museum VBS course contains five great halls. Each hall teaches us about God’s love and how his children respond to that love. Every day we enter a different hall where Bible heroes tell their stories, and where interesting Bible artifacts teach us fascinating truths about God’s Word.
While traveling through the museum the children will hear a CD explain Joseph’s coat of many colors, Moses’ staff, David’s harp, Josiah’s scroll, and Mary’s jar of perfume. Children also make these items in their craft sessions.
