• Download music from a resource such as iTunes® and have it ready to play. Note: Legally a song belongs to the songwriter/composer who created it and the publisher who markets it. Performance rights organizations (PROs) license public performances (live or recorded) of their members’ music. Usually, but not always, PROs give general permission for performances in worship services. We recommend you obtain permission from the PRO representing the song or the publisher of the song you wish to play. PROs in the U.S. are ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC. For a list of PROs in your part of the world: www.iamusic.com. Look at the copyright on the CD or sheet music to discover the PRO or publisher of the song. It is up to you to make sure your church has permission to perform or play a recording of a song.

• If at all possible, try to have an actual telescope and microscope on stage. You could still tell the story without them by saying, “What if we looked through a telescope?” and “What if we looked through a microscope?” But we suggest having the physical objects on stage for a wow factor, and so you’re not doing everything on screen.

OPENERH O S T: “Hey, everybody! I hope you had a blast in Small Group. It’s been a great day here kicking off our FOCUS VBS.

“We can discover more about God when we FOCUS on Him—when we take a closer look at who He is and what He’s done. One of the best ways we can do that is to look at everything God has made. After all, His amazing creation is all around us!

“Here’s what we need to remember today:

CG: Day 1 Bottom Line Slide

“FOCUS on what you can see.

“Now—about that question I asked you earlier . . .

CG: Day 1 Key Question Slide

“What’s your favorite thing that God created?

“Let me hear some of your answers.

Get a few kids to share their answers. Repeat them into the microphone so everyone can hear.

CG: Blank Bottom Line Slide

“Those are some great ones. (Reference some of the kids’ answers.) All of those things remind me that God is an amazing Creator. He’s big and powerful. He’s ALWAYS good. And He loves us so, so much!

“Let’s sing our theme song again and tell God that we want to FOCUS on Him.”

Worship Leaders enter. Host stays on stage for the song.
