We’re counting down to fun at Operation Space: A Close Encounter with God’s Word in our new vacation Bible school for 2009! In this galactic VBS adventure like no other, kids learn how God reveals Himself through His world and His Word.
Each day of vacation Bible school, we’ll learn more about our great Creator as we crisscross the cosmos, answering questions about space:
- How did the universe begin?
- Why are people searching for life in outer space?
- Did meteorites kill the dinosaurs?
- Is earth specially designed?
- What’s the difference between astrology and astronomy?
With each day's activities, we’ll also meet our Creator on the pages of the Bible as we have a close encounter with His Word:
- How is the Bible unique?
- Did the Bible just drop out of heaven?
- What does “authority of Scripture” mean?
- How can we avoid being “lost in space”?
- How has the Bible impacted earth?
This space venture begins the minute kids walk through the doors, when they are transformed into cadets receiving BASIC Training at a space academy.
At Operation Space, children go through BASIC Training on their way to becoming the ultimate cadet. Each day of vacation Bible school, they discover more about God’s Word, the Bible.
