Learning Together Overview

Do you have Sunday school during the summer and struggle to find a curriculum that works for you? Are you looking for a VBS curriculum with less gloss and more substance? Do you want a particular educational focus for Lent, Advent, Epiphany, or even October (for example)? Pick the unit that works for you! Choose the topic that you are excited about!

Each unit includes a Unit Overview, Grouping Activity, Service Projects, Music Suggestions, Unit-long Project, VBS Suggestions, and Unit Supply List.

Each lesson includes a Lesson Overview, Background for Leaders, Large-group Opening Activity, Five Activity Stations (Storytelling, Craft, Science, Games, and Snack), Closing Prayer, and For the Home take-home guide.

The [Learning Together: God’s Gift of Water] program was engaging with developmentally appropriate activities for three years olds up to fifth graders. The children were engaged and participated as each learning center was designed on developmentally appropriate practice. I greatly appreciated how the children were engaged along with the Junior Volunteers and Ministry Team. It was an incredible learning experience.
