The Kids Serving Kids: Tales of the Not Forgotten curriculum is a mission kit designed to build compassion and engage KIDS in global service. It uses real-life stories from Beth Guckenberger’s book about children in difficult circumstances, featuring interactive lessons, videos, and projects to help kids understand God’s love for the forgotten.
Our VBS will feature stories of children from Mexico, Haiti, Nigeria, and India.&nbsp; With each story there will be a Bible memory verse, prayer time, snack, and activities like crafts, games and music.&nbsp; We will explore&nbsp;questions like “How do I pray? What can I give? Where can I go? Who will I serve?”
This curriculum aims to turn “service” into a lifestyle by showing children how to pray for and help others, ultimately connecting their lives to a bigger world.&nbsp;
We hope your KIDS can join us for all the fun of VBS 2026.&nbsp; The cost is just $35, with need based scholarships available.&nbsp; For more information, contact <a href="mailto:kids@herndonumc.org" target="_blank">kids@herndonumc.org</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;
