VBS Success!
Another successful year for our Vacation Bible School! The word and love of God was shared with a total of 45 children and their families! This year our theme was "Walking with Jesus". Each day we started off with dinner to feed the stomachs, and singing and praying to fill the heart.
Monday- Thursday we had fun crafts and the children got to learn about people who Jesus interacted with. But they didn't just hear the stories about them, they had interactive lessons with each of them. They were told about each of their personal experiences with Jesus and how Jesus effected their lives. The list included: The Woman at the well, Zacchaeus the tax collector, Saul the persecutor of Christians, the Crippled woman, Paul the apostle, Elizabeth the mother of John, the sisters Mary and Martha, and even Judas the one who betrayed Christ.
Friday Night was the VBS finally. The children had so much to do. We had a popcorn and cotton candy machine. There was a mini moon bounce for the 6 and under kids, a 5 in 1 combo bounce that included a slide, climbing, basketball hoop and a moon bounce for the older children, and a dry slide that was 12 feet tall. And let's not forget, the Dunk Tank! We were able to play outside and have dinner. However, as Reverend Jen was in the Dunk Tank storm clouds began to roll in. Rather then ending early, the finally was brought inside the church. We played games, sang, danced, and of course ate more food.
We pray that these children and their families not only had a wonderful time, but moreover that their lives and hearts have been touched by the spirit of the living God.
