Organizing the sections in this way allows everyone on the team to be able to flip to the activities that they are assigned so that all of your leaders can find the materials and directions for their roles in one section. Themes for each day:ĭay Two – Let your light shine (Isaiah 58:10)ĭay Four – God loves everyone (Acts 10:34b-35)ĭay Five – Building God’s neighborhood (Romans 15:2)īased on your feedback, we’ve made “Who is My Neighbor?” more user-friendly for VBS planning teams by organizing each section by activity categories, rather than by days of the week. The skits for each day introduce a new character in the Good Samaritan story, starting with the lawyer who asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?” Each skit shares an important lesson that directly relates to the theme and theme verse, which groups will practice at the start and end of each day. Based on the Good Samaritan story, this full, five-day program contains skits, games, crafts, snacks and intentional activities for children to enjoy and learn how our faith calls us out into the world to love and serve our neighbors. “Who is My Neighbor?” invites children and youth to re-imagine what it means to be neighbors in Christ.
