Jesus Rescues Us From Sin
VBS At Home 2020 | Immanuel Lutheran Church LCMS – Joplin, MO | immanueljoplin.com/VBS
WEEK THREE LAUNCHES at 6pm on Sunday, July 26. Join us LIVE ONLINE! Find the LAUNCH video stream below.
Welcome!
We welcome you to “VBS At Home,” an ambitious project, faithfully produced by a small team of talented, creative and motivated folks from Immanuel Lutheran Church and Martin Luther School in Joplin, Missouri.
Our VBS 2020 team has been working for weeks — praying, gathering resources, organizing lessons, assembling dozens of at-home kits, and recording more than 25 short videos to provide a safe and responsible “COVID-19 friendly” alternative to traditional Vacation Bible School.
We pray that you as parents and children will grow closer to Jesus as you use these weekly resources together; that we will all be connected through a common at-home VBS experience centered in God’s Word. Jesus has come to Rescue and Redeem the world. God’s steadfast love endures forever!

LAUNCH
In the LAUNCH Live Opening Broadcast (also on YouTube) we will welcome you with music and online interaction. We will also discover our “Flipgrid Mission” and introduce the WEEK THREE Story… “Jesus Rescues Us From Sin.”
Tune in right here at 6:00 pm on Sunday evening, July 26 as we LAUNCH this week’s VBS At Home. God’s Steadfast Love Endures Forever!
LEARN
As we LEARN, we will watch a creative telling of the WEEK THREE story about how Jesus is baptized and tempted — “Jesus Rescues Us From Sin!” A family discussion/teaching guide is included in your “VBS At Home” Family Kit. (Need a free kit? Register for VBS here.)
LIVE
In the LIVE section, you will create a craft project, build a fun snack, play fun games and more! Most materials will be included in your Family Kit. The videos will take you step-by-step through each project. Have fun as you LIVE together in God’s steadfast love!
LEAVE (SHOW & TELL)
Before we LEAVE and finish up with WEEK THREE, let’s SHOW & TELL! We will post a recap video with (hopefully) many of the pictures, videos and comments you have submitted throughout the week on social media, using the hashtag #immanueljoplinVBS.
We are also using a classroom tool called the Flipgrid App. We can’t wait to see the creative ways you are using your “VBS At Home” resources, and your answer to the WEEK THREE DISCUSSION QUESTION…
What tempts you? How does Jesus help us with temptation?
Make a video of your answer and post it to Flipgrid! See below.
