For Rotation.org folks using these materials: Our 2001 VBS will be about Psalm 23 with a main goal of every child memorizing and understanding each line. Monday and Tuesday Nights we rotate through different "mini-workshops" on each verse. Wednesday night we rotate through three workshops. Thus, our VBS isn't a "classic" Rotation Model lesson set --but an adaptation. Because we will have the same group of kids for each evening's lessons, we don't have to repeat some understandings about the Psalm in each lesson. If you're adapting our VBS for a summer Sunday School or regular Sunday School Rotation,... please take this into account. You'll probably have to do some adjustments to the workshops content. fyi...the mini-workshops could easily be adapted for a Children's Sermon series.

A Sheepish Joke: Two dumb sheep are walking on the grasslands. Suddenly they both fall into a hole. They can't get out. The first dumb sheep starts to shout: "Help!! Help!!" It does not seem to work. No help is coming. The first dumb sheep shouts again: "Help!!! Help!!" The second dumb sheep says: "It might help if we shout together." The first dumb sheep shouts: "Together!! Together!!"
