B.A.S.I.C. Training
Last week was VERY full. DS had his July week of EI preschool in the morning on M-W-F (one week each month during June, July & August) and in the evenings all week (M-F) we attended VBS at a friends church. I say "we" because I was there to help DS so he could participate. The curriculum was Operation Space from Answers in Genesis and everything from decorations, to crafts, to games, to drama, music and lessons was about the Bible all wrapped up in an outer space theme. The children loved it (hey, even I had a great time!) and DS participated in almost every part of each day. I had to take him out of the class during lesson time because he would not sit still & quiet, but that was near the end of the evening and that's not his best time of day anyway. The children were "cadets" in B.A.S.I.C. Training for the week, learning facts about God's awesome universe as well as foundational truths about God's Word.
B.A.S.I.C. stands for:
Book of Books - the Bible is the most important book, bar none
Absolute Authority - when the Bible talks about something, it's right - all the time
Salvation Story - why we need a Saviour and how Christ came to save us
Incredible Impact - the amazing influence the Bible has had in history and us personally
Cadet Challenge - encouraging children to read the Bible from cover to cover & live what they learn
I am so glad we were able to participate in this VBS (even though it was in the evenings). I am thouroughly impressed with the curriculum that Answers in Genesis developed and blessed by the friends we got to hang out with for the week. I'm already looking forward to next year!
