Shipwrecked VBS Planning Journal
A few weeks ago, I saw a facebook post from a Shipwrecked director who found a fun notebook for her VBS planning. The notebook, which I believe was from Walmart, had one of the Shipwrecked bible verses on the front. I couldn’t find a similar notebook at my local stores, but I was encouraged by her post to find a theme-related notebook that I could use for my VBS planning. I keep many notes electronically, but sometimes it’s nice to have a physical notebook to jot ideas down… like when you’re in the middle of church (or a work meeting, or lunch) and you have a great VBS idea!

This year’s VBS theme is Shipwrecked {learn more about the theme here}. The VBS kits are available now. All of our VBS resources are designed to be used alongside any of the Group starter kits, although I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the ultimate version with digital.
Below are several of the notebooks I found. I also ordered adhesive tabs and a new package of my favorite pens (the colorful ones, of course). I’m going to make sections in the notebook for different stations and categories (I’ll definitely make a section for our VBS work day, decorating ideas, etc).
I don’t know about you, but I tend to get SO involved in planning the details of VBS that I forget to take a deep breath and let God work. Having this visual on the front of my planning notebook is a great reminder to step back, take a look at the big picture and thank God for the chance to serve Him in such an exciting ministry!
