I really like this 5-evening VBS on "Bible Heroes" written by Rotation.org member Liz Weingart for her church—especially because it concludes with "our hometown heroes today"—the first responders in your community and church. I also like the way the lessons remind kids of the superpowers THEY have. While you may have already taught these stories in Sunday School, refreshing students' memories of these key stories is never a bad idea 
Then and now...
BE FAITHFUL... BE FORGIVING... BE STRONG!
Bible heroes and heroes in our midst are included in this VBS program designed for 5 evenings. Kids learn to forgive like Joseph and to be more obedient than Jonah. They learn that just like Moses and like local heroes, they can use their strength to help others. The courage that Daniel had can be theirs too! Throughout the week, students engage in the point of view of the Bible Heroes. The program concludes with a celebration of hometown heroes. This lesson set is packed with great story scripts and activities and could be used in many ways other than VBS.
