VBS 2015 Greatest Hits: Preparation

As our group makes plans for VBS, I want the core team to be on the same page.  Natually, we will read the stories in the Bible.  This year, I bought copies of 'The Real Story' by Edward Sri and Curtis Martin for the Core team to read to get a better understanding of how the Hebrew Scriptures are part of the 'Big Picture' of the Bible, especially, in terms of our .catholic faith.  Our Church uses Symbolon Series for its RCIA program.  The authors speak and write clearly.  The Core Team leading  the stations at VBS needs some background.  We aren't teaching theology; but, it helps to make connections as we teach.  We add snippets even during Song.  I don't think you need a degree in Theology to take part in VBS; I do think some background on the underlying meaning or intent is important for volunteers.
