We had another fantastic VBS this year! I was pretty involved-- I sang and did motions on stage, acted in skits (got to be silly again!) and was head teacher for the Pre-K class. I got to do the Bible lessons and teach the motions to songs (with the help of videos, which were a bit of a headache, but the Pastor helped us work it out with a new TV and DVD player!). It did get pretty warm most mornings, so we had indoor puzzles, books and activities to do. The kids played games with our great games leader, Maria. They also got to do crafts with our craft leader, Jennifer. We had several teen helpers and a Grandma, so it was lots of fun! We had 25-27 kids in our room, and were plenty busy all morning. We had a great time with the "wee ones!"
Snacks outside after Bible time...
Playing games and reading books...
The boys loved the cars and car mat...
Crafts with Jennifer (the kids called her Mrs. Jennifer)
Working on their key rings...
Painting t-shirts is always an adventure!
So determined...
Gotta cover it all!
Getting the glue off the shirts, but the paint stayed...It was lots of fun and we're glad that the parents let their kids hang out with us! I was exhausted every afternoon, but I loved them!
Our verse of the week:
Isaiah 30:21
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”
Matthew 18:3
And he (Jesus)
said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 19:13-
14
Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
