2008 Vacation Bible School
Connect your Vacation Bible School to Church World Service mission projects
The following mission project information is for your use in planning your congregation’s 2008 Vacation Bible School. The mission ideas offered here can supplement this year’s Vacation Bible School curricula with Church World Service programs and projects.Founded in 1946, Church World Service is the relief, development, and refugee assistance ministry of 35 Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican denominations in the United States. Working in partnership with indigenous organizations in more than 80 countries, CWS works worldwide to meet human needs and foster self-reliance for all whose way is hard.
Within the United States, Church World Service assists communities in responding to disasters, resettles refugees, promotes fair national and international policies, provides educational resources, and offers opportunities to join a people-to-people network of local and global caring through participation in CROP Hunger Walks, the Tools & Blankets Program, and the CWS Kits Program.
The information is in no way an endorsement of any particular curriculum. Curricula are listed in alphabetical order by publisher. If you need further information contact your CWS Regional Office at 888-297-2767
Prepared by the Great Plains Regional Office team (Joyce Holley, writer; Joe Hendrixson, editor) for distribution by Church World Service regional offices.
