Vacation Bible School – June 22nd - 26th, 2009
Operation Space - Grades K - 6th

10, 9, 8, 7...

We counted down to fun at Operation Space: A Close Encounter with God's Word. In this galactic adventure like no other, kids learned how God reveals Himself through His world and His Word.

Each day, we learned more about our great Creator as we crisscrossed the cosmos, answering questions about space:

• How did the universe begin?
• Why are people looking for life on other planets?
• Did meteorites kill the dinosaurs?
• Is earth specially designed?
• What's the difference between astrology and astronomy?

We also met Him on the pages of the Bible as we had a close encounter with His Word:

• How is the Bible unique?
• Did the Bible just drop out of heaven?
• What does "authority of Scripture" mean?
• How can we avoid being "lost in space"?
• How has the Bible impacted earth?

This space adventure began the minute kids walked through the doors, when they were transformed into cadets receiving BASIC Training at a space academy.

BASIC TRAINING
Book of Books: The Bible is uniquely God's Word
Absolute Authority: As the Word of the Creator, the Bible should be the foundation for our thinking in every area.
Salvation Story: The Bible tells us how we can spend eternity with our Creator. The cadets will learn how as they hear a clear presentation of the gospel.
Incredible Impact: From art to music to changed lives, the Bible has had an incredible impact on our world.
Cadet Challenge: Learn it! Love it! Live it! We need to read and study the Bible daily in order to learn more about our Creator and His commands.

Operation Space was an out-of-this-world experience, we held on to our seats as we fired the engines and prepared for launch.
