‘Heroes of Faith’ Teaching Series or Free VBS

The ‘Heroes of Faith’ teaching series or free vbs is a great opportunity for children to discover how

some of those people found in the bible are great bible heroes. It aims to inspire them to realize just how they can be a hero too; by trusting God and having faith in Him.

This series is a 5 part series and is best used when combined with a SUPERHERO SUNDAY! The final session; Jesus You’re My Superhero is a great session to end on where you can invite all your children and childrens team to come dressed as Superheroes as you discuss why Jesus is the greatest Superhero!

DECORATION IDEAS:

Hero signs and symbols around the room. Place hero signs all around your room to remind children

of the heroes theme. You could make one of your activities a chance for children to create a superhero sign or symbol for the different characters – especially for Jesus!

Hero themed bunting. Why not hang hero themed bunting around your room as a reminder of the ‘Heroes of Faith’ theme?!

Inflatable Globes. Hang inflatable globes as a challenge to remind the children that superheroes don’t just help a few people – but they save the world!

Superhero Characters. Paint superheroes on large cardboard or wooden plaques that can be placed at the front of your room.

Cityscapes. Why not create a large city scape as a reminder that

superheroes make an impact on cities as well as the world.
