Bogard Press VBS Blog - VBS 2023 Seminar Recap

2023 VBS Seminar Recap 

At 7:00 A. M. on Saturday, February 25, 2023, the doors to Northern Hills Baptist Church were open to guests attending the annual Bogard Press Vacation Bible School publisher’s seminar. Attendees were greeted with a goodie bag, a hot cup of coffee and a donut, a chance to register for giveaways and a sneak peak of the 2024 VBS theme. Over 160 in-person attendees, as well as many more online viewers, centered their focus on the stage decorated with Bible themes from the 2023 VBS, “Proclamation Safari Park.” 

The seminar was emceed by the new Bogard Press Business Manager, Bro. James Crain, and the Editor in Chief, Mark Clements. Over the course of the seminar, attendees received encouragement and instruction, preparing them to host their own Vacation Bible School. The presenters (Elizabeth Stacks, Amanda Lewis, Ryan Smith, Jarrod New and Amber Coburn) directed attendees on how to lead students through each of the five lessons. In the final session, Amanda Lewis gave guidance for VBS Directors to help them oversee their own successful events.
