ZAPPED!

We’ll never be who we are designed to be until we learn how to plug into God’s power, grace and love. When we learn that, our lives become Zapped.
This summer, we’ll take a look at how we can all be zapped by God’s love. When we are zapped it changes the way we think, the way we treat others, the choices we make. We’re going to journey with Peter and see how he was zapped throughout his life. Here is a list of the stories that we’ll be talking about:

  • Calling of Peter (Luke 5:1-11)*
  • Peter Walks on Water (Matthew 14:22-34)*
  • Peter is the Rock (Matthew 16:13-28)*
  • Peter’s Denial and Restoration (Mark 14:66-72, Luke 22:54-62)*
  • Peter Preaching at Pentecost (Acts 2)
  • Peter and Cornelius (Acts 10)*
  • Peter Heals Crippled Beggar (Acts 3)
  • Wrap-Up*

The Summer Series is an eight-week series designed to give you a great Sunday morning experience for your kids with a limited number of volunteers. We’ve included shorter Small Group activities and longer Large Group time. The Storyteller and Drama segments are on video (DVD and QuickTime), which allows you to have a quality program with a smaller team of volunteers. Or, if you have a large team, scripts are provided so that you can perform the Drama and/or Storyteller segments live.

The VBS version is a five-day event with the option of using videos or performing the Drama and Storyteller segments live. The five stories used in the VBS are marked above with a (*). Included is a sixth session that you can use as a Family Experience to wrap up your week of VBS. It also has ideas for crafts, snacks, games and activities for your kids to build their faith skills.

To purchase the songs from the Zapped CD, including the theme song, click here.
The Zapped album is a solid combination of worship, dance and rock tracks. The songs are over the top fun, but there’s no disguising the message that is wrapped around the core of every song – that our God is great and awesome, and there’s no one like Him.
