Lifeway releases 2023 VBS theme: ‘Twists & Turns’

Next summer children will pass go and collect truth about Jesus in “Twists & Turns.” Lifeway Christian Resources’ 2023 Vacation Bible School theme celebrates games of all kinds, from classic tabletop favorites to video games and more.

Kids will play their way through VBS while learning Jesus guides them through the ups, downs and zigzags of lives. Children will encounter the gospel and learn how sin’s message of “game over” is overcome through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection.

“Games are the universal love language of kids, and God made children to learn best through play,” said Melita Thomas, VBS and kids ministry specialist for Lifeway.

“Parents and church leaders get to capitalize on that with this theme. New games, old games, elaborate games, simple games, board games, cooperative games and video games — they’re all part of ‘Twists & Turns.’ I’m excited to use something so accessible to help kids understand profound biblical truths.”
