As a safety precaution, LifeWay Christian Resources has provided a new Vacation Bible School (VBS) craft idea to replace one that could potentially endanger children and their families.
Kristi Lemoine, an editor with LifeWay’s Children’s VBS Team, said a Jungle Journal craft activity has replaced a coffee bean candle-making project suggested for day four of Amazon Outfitters Vacation Bible School. “When we became aware of the concern about the potential fire hazard of this activity, we decided to replace this craft with another one,” Lemoine said.
The candle-making activity was one of three suggested craft projects for that day.
According to Saundria Keck, managing director in Childhood Ministry Publishing, an e-mail message has been sent to state Baptist convention children’s associated, nearly 25,000 ministry leaders, VBS directors and others across the country making them aware of the potential hazard of the candle-making activity and providing them with an alternate idea.
“We want the children who attend VBS to have a wonderful week learning about the one true God,” Keck said. “We also want to reduce the risk of any accidents.”
