If you don’t know what VBS means – Vacation Bible School! As a child that was always the highlight of my summer. Back in those days we didn’t have televisions (much less 100 cable channels) or electronic devices.
Forget flying to an exotic place! Grandpa’s farm was about as far as we got, but it was the BEST!
Anyway, Bible School meant being around friends, games, crafts, Kool-Aid, cookies, and singing. Some of those songs I learned over 60 years ago are still in my heart. That’s the power of music. We may forget many things, but songs get stored in the deepest part of the brain. (I hope I’m still singing them loud some day when I’m in the memory loss center!)
Almost 15 years ago Shari Sloane and I made a CD called Sing,Little Children, Sing with gospel songs that we grew up with, as well as some songs to teach the books of the Bible, Disciples, Ten Commandments, etc.
This month you will find a free download of the entire CD. I hope many of you will be able to pass on these songs to the children you work with this summer at Bible School. Others who teach in faith-based schools might be able to use them throughout the school year.
The links for the CD download and the lyrics are on the next pages.
Thanks for helping me share part of my journey and for helping me keep these songs alive!
