Freebie Friday: Free Catholic Vacation Bible School

(When I wrote this post, it was still Friday night.. but it was already Saturday when I finished! LOL!!)


This is a repost from one of my all-time favorite Catholic mom bloggers, Lacy, of Catholic Icing. I tell ya, when GOD poured out Catholic creativity into His created human beings, Lacy must have soaked up a lot of it. Living proof of how the Holy Spirit works to reach others, even through "simple" stuff like arts and crafts!

Anyway, I was on Facebook a while ago and saw a post from one of my homeschool mommy friends (more like MENTOR!) in the US about Catholic Vacation Bible School in their parish and I was jea-lous! Made me wish there was something like that here in the Philippines.

Then, lo and behold, while researching for freebies for this week's post, I saw Lacy's post about Catholic Vacation Bible School (VBS). Thank You God! :-)

Without further ado, here it is. FREE Catholic Vacation Bible School from Holy Heroes! Woohooooo! Anyone want to join me here in the Philippines so our kids can do this together? Let me know ASAP please - teachermamatina@gmail.com. :-) Be blessed!

Free Catholic Vacation Bible School

Yes, that's right. FREE! :-) This is offered by Holy Heroes. You can use it at home for your own kids, or for a group or parish! And you guys know I'm all about free Catholic resources!

You can go to the Holy Heroes Website to sign up for their Free Summer Faith Adventure via email. What they do is send you daily emails with videos for the week long Vacation Bible School. These videos include lessons, snacks, crafts, songs, and games! Everything you need is provided for free, including downloads. But this year they'realso offering the program on DVD in case you don't want to be tethered to your computer, along with booklets for anyone who doesn't want to mess with their printer. Here's the best part... They're offering one copy of the Activities Booklet to all of you for free! All you pay is the shipping! The coupon code is sfa2010, and you guys are the first to have it! :-) 

Click here to get your free activities booklet! This is a special link, not accessible from their regular website. Ken (from Holy Heroes) said to think of it as a little "Icing". ;-) The free Activity Booklet is 52 pages with full-color illustrations for the do-it-yourself prayer booklet, and there are some activities in the booklet that won't be available for downloading online. The code sfa2010 will also get you discounts for the CD, and the leader's guide with a DVD. 

The theme for the Summer Adventure this year is "The New Kingdom of David" and it explains how the Church is the new kingdom of David promised by Archangel Gabriel to the Blessed Virgin Mary which Jesus would rule forever. Keep checking back here at Catholic Icing to find extra ideas to go with the theme as the time for the Summer Adventure approaches ;-) It starts July 12- I'm very excited to do this with my kids this year!

Within  a group of families or homeschoolers, the high school kids could put this program on for the younger kids as a Summer fund raiser- it sure beats mowing lawns!

PS. If you're getting the Summer Adventure booklet for free, as long as you're paying the shipping don't forget to sign up for a free Treasure Box Book as well. When you add it to your cart, it automatically takes off the price of 1 book for you! ;-)
