Bible Times VBS & Sunday School
We highly recommend the critically acclaimed 8 original Marketplace 29 A.D. Bible Times Experience curriculums from B.J. Goetz Publishing! These wonderful and unique curriculums present many opportunities for first person Bible immersion for both VBS and Sunday School. If you want a deeper and more meaningful time that will teach children about the Jewish roots of their faith and bring the Bible alive, these curriculums will fulfill that purpose. The BJ Goetz curricula are an exciting experience for all involved, both children and workers, and are highly adaptable to Sunday School and VBS programs and time constraints. They are easy to plan and implement and cost of materials is minimal. Creativity is inspired among both children & adults!
DCM has purchased the entire set of 8 Bible-Times Curricula. Because of this, we can make our own program material available at no cost to whoever does VBS with DCM. This will save your church a very considerable amount of money as you won't need to purchase a VBS program.
