Dell Rapids Community VBS Invites Children to Rocky Railway VBS: Jesus’ Power Pulls us Through

May 30, 2021 by Matt Larson, Big Sioux Media

A summer kids’ event called Rocky Railway VBS will be hosted at Lutheran Church of Dell Rapids from July 18 through July 21, 2021. At Rocky Railway, kids discover through life’s ups and downs that Jesus’ power pulls us through. Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, engage in fun snack-eating experiences, take part in one-of-a-kind Bible Adventures, learn about Bible Memory Buddies to remind them to trust Jesus, and test out Sciency-Fun Gizmos. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings. Each day concludes with the Rock Wrap-Up that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join in daily for this special time at 8:15 pm.

Dell Rapids Community VBS’s mission will be to collect food for the local food pantry.

Rocky Railway is for kids age 5 (or going into kindergarten) through 5th grade (going into 6th grade) and will run from 6:15 pm to 8:30 pm each day. Please note we will not be serving a meal nightly this year but instead a snack during the games and snack station.

The curriculum will be composed of four days with a theme for each day. Curriculum includes opening and closing worship songs, arts and crafts project, nature project, snack idea video, story time segment, afternoon activity challenges, and a devotion to do with the entire family.

The Dell Rapids Community VBS board will provide links to the videos, devotional pages, materials list, and nature activities for each day. They will also be putting together a packet with all of the materials needed for the crafts for the four days.

Anyone that would like to be a part of the Virtual VBS curriculum, send an email to drcommunityvbs@gmail.com and include name, email address to send the links to, and how many children will be participating so the board knows how many activity bags to make in advance. Deadline to sign up is Friday, July 10th.

For those that sign up to take part in the curriculum, items can be picked up at the Dell Rapids Lutheran Church during the week of July 14th – 17th (Tue-Fri) from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The packets will be located inside the entryway, and there will also be printed devotional pages and nature activity pages .
