BONUS IDEA: Begin distributing Expedition Tags, one per Sunday, five weeks in advance. Have kids write their names on the back of tags with a permanent marker. Challenge kids to give tags to friends and invite them to VBS. When an unchurched kid brings a tag to registration, both the guest and the kid whose name is on the back receives a prize.
