Every year about this time a lot of the churches in my area start a summer ritual named vacation bible school. In May the signs start going up with all sorts of cute themes like beach, pirate, kingdom stories, pioneers, etc.
With most of these churches this is the only outreach they do all year except for those silly signs out front with catchy sayings like ”Give God whats right, not whats left” or ”Its hard to stumble when you are on your knees”. All the gut busters we have grown to love!
I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with vacation bible school. Its just amazing how geared up the churches get for one event and expect a big result. I wonder how much of an effect they really have…..
