As you prepare for your visitors to Stomp and Chomp Jungle during your 2023 VBS, Stompers & Chompers: Building Dino-Sized Faith in God’s Big Plan, it would be easy for something to fall through the cracks. The list below should help you close those cracks. And, as you check items off the list, you should gain a well-deserved sense of accomplishment.
You can involve your fellow church members by updating them with any needs you still have. 
Encourage them to ask God to bless each worker and student who will attend. Share with them the specific goals for VBS 2023.
On the Director Resources CD of the Director Resource CD Set or in the Director Guide, you will find details about each action below. Ask your church to pray for you as you attend to each action, praying that God will give you wisdom and lead you to the right answers for your needs. Ask the church to pray for willing hearts and Spirit-led people to come alongside you so you all can have the best VBS outcomes your church has ever had!
