VBS Curriculum- FREE for all ELCA Congregations

Lutheran Outdoor Ministries (LOM) produces the curriculum each year that is used in camp and retreat settings and for Vacation Bible Schools and day camps. This year, LOM is offering their 2016 VBS Bundle of “The Jesus Way” free to ELCA congregations.

To repeat: Special for this year only, the VBS Bundle of the 2016 LOM Curriculum “The Jesus Way” is FREE for all ELCA congregations—yes, free! Each year the LOM curriculum provides a quality alternative for VBS curriculum at an affordable price. The bundle includes Bible study activities, crafts, and games for preschool children, and upper and lower elementary aged youth. Also included are planning documents, including Biblical and theme background information. To order the curriculum, visit www.lomnetwork.org.

LOM has also released its 2017 curriculum entitled "The Water of Life." Three Christian education basics—God’s creation, Christian community, and faith formation—come together in “The Water of Life.” Participants will dive into five Bible stories and daily themes that shower them with new awareness of how water and life are gifts from God. The curriculum will also give participants an opportunity to reflect on baptism, the sacrament that overflows with meaning about being cleansed, invited into a faith community, and led to do God’s mission in the world.

Included in the full curriculum package are five day Bible study sessions for Preschool, Upper and Lower Elementary, Junior High, Senior High, and Adult, as well as games, crafts, worship resources, environmental activities, and team-building activities. "The Water of Life" is also available in other small bundles designed for Youth Ministry and VBS settings.

“The Water of Life” is available for purchase and download on the LOM website at www.lomnetwork.org. Lutheran Outdoor Ministries is an association of outdoor ministry organizations dedicated to encouraging, equipping, educating, and empowering bold and faithful outdoor ministry leaders for service in the Church and in the world.
