Concordia Publishing House is launching a new VBS, and it's based on a hymn! Dr. Lisa M. Clark (Senior Editor, Curriculum Resources, Concordia Publishing House) and Mary Laesch (Editor, Curriculum Resources, Concordia Publishing House) join Andy and Sarah to preview the new "Wake Awake" VBS curriculum, including the inspiration for this hymn-based curriculum, how this VBS is different from others, the theme for this curriculum, what the structure looks like (including some brilliantly fun snacks and crafts!), special features like catechism lessons, and how listeners can learn more. Find this VBS curriculum (shipping in January) at cph.org/wake-awake-watching-for-jesus-hymn-vbs. Join the VBS email list from CPH by sending a message to vbsteam@cph.org. As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let’s be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran. Have a topic you'd like to hear about on The Coffee Hour? Contact us at: listener@kfuo.org.
