Carry The Torch. VBS 2012
Can you remember watching past Olympic events? Share with each other your favorite past Olympic moments.
The Olympic games can be traced back almost as far as 776 BC. People from other nations competing in sporting events is not a new thing. Training for an event at big as the Olympics is not an easy task, nor is it to be taken lightly.
In a few weeks when the London Olympics begin we will see human beings do some amazing things physically. We will get to see world records set, the under-dog rise to the top, and nations at war have moments of peace. All because of sporting games.
One of my favorite Olympic traditions is the passing of the torch around the world, and ending up at Opening Ceremonies. Each Olympic year something amazing happens to light the Olympic Flame. One year that stands out to me is in 1992 Barcelona Olympics when the famous archer shot a flaming arrow into the basin to start the flame.

This year our theme is Carry The Torch. Through this theme we will be talking each day with the kids about how by testifying of God’s grace to others we are passing the torch, carrying it beyond ourselves and into the world. Our memory verse this week will be:
Acts 20:24
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
Take a few moments to talk with your kids about this verse. Read it through a few times so that they may begin to memorize it.
Through out the rest of this week we will be talking about Paul’s race and what’s behind this verse.
