I usually do some magic for VBS kids in the 5 year old range. This year, I have been tasked with being the storyteller for "Moses and the burning bush". Since I obviously don't want to use fire (for legal and safety reasons), does anyone have any suggestions on any effects that I could use to tell the story? Or any effects that correlate with the story that could be done before or after telling the story?

Use the flaming Bible. God revealed himself to Moses through a burning bush. He reveals himself to us through his word The Bible.

If you are really trying to stay away from fire, I might suggest using an atomic light bulb...and saying something like..."I don't have a bush...but I have a bulb...and then use the bulb to tell the story. I realize that is a bit obscure, but it is dealing with the fire being a light...Something to ponder anyway.

There are flame silks...that you might be able to use. Might be good out of a dove pan or change bag.

The silks that DoDad is talking about can be found here at CreativeArtStore.com:

I like Payne's suggestion of the flame lamp. Easy for a magician/preacher and different enough for kids to be fascinated.
I'd be really worried about using real flames with such young children and in the past have used a projector with pictures of flickering flames to illustrate the story.
