VBS is a ministry tool

West Hartselle Baptist Church found that using Vacation Bible School as a ministry tool would be able to reach more than local kids, they would also bring in whole families.

A VBS planner and worker Hannah Hulse said she and her husband have been handling sports and recreations for the week.

“It’s been a great time planning these sports and games for the kids and families,” Hulse said. “We’ve had about 25 adults and 60 kids each night. That’s something we wanted to do- gear VBS toward community families.”

West Hartselle’s VBS began at 6 p.m., but each night they’ve hosted a meal before the start of VBS at 5:15 p.m.

“It’s often hard to go home and get a meal together for your family before you go to an event like this, that’s why we wanted to take the pressure off the families and feed them each night,” Hulse said. “We are also offering bible classes, music class, recreation and games, crafts and also a class on missions.”

An important factor for West Hartselle and their VBS is their van ministry.

“We send our church van out to pick out a lot of kids in the community,” Hulse said. “We want to make sure that anyone who wants to come to VBS or church has a ride here.”

The church also put together 500 door hangers to deliver across the community that provided information for WHBC’s VBS.

“We want to get these kids and families here and show them Christ’s love and how important they are in the universe that God created,” Hulse said.

The VBS was June 11-14.
