St. Mark’s in Elberta, AL, held an online VBS that began in late July that anyone can participate in at their convenience. After purchasing CPH’s starter kit that included digital materials, they used the Rainforest Explorers skits provided and added their own story, song, and craft video. A Thrivent Action Team grant was used to help purchase a song CD/DVD set for each family in the church, as well as the lesson leaflets and craft materials. The craft materials were all put together in a large Ziploc bag and given out one Sunday morning. Pastor Keith Ringers made a story video for each day that included a cartoon of the lesson. Congregational members Toby Moore and Danny Botts each made videos: Toby of a song for the day, and Danny on how to do the craft. The VBS link stayed up on the St. Mark’s website to be shared with anyone who will benefit from the Bible stories, skits and/or songs: https://www.saintmarkslutheranchurch.co/vbs-2020.
