Cue the songs with hand motions.
In-person Vacation Bible School is poised to make a comeback this summer.
Last year, most local congregations either canceled VBS or offered it virtually. The latter often supplied kits that families could drive by and pick up beforehand, so their children could follow along with songs, lessons and crafts from their living rooms.
But this year, a number of local congregations are making arrangements for an in-person Vacation Bible School. (Though if a virtual one is still preferable, there’s a local option for that, too.)
Here’s what’s planned.
