A Peak Inside VBS

As I mentioned yesterday, we are having our Vacation Bible School/Day Camp this week. VBS is from 9 to 12 and then some of the kids stay in the afternoon for Day Camp. The Day Camp portion of the week is full of activities. Yesterday the group went to putt-putt golf and today they are going to Pump It Up, which is a really fun inflatable jump house.

Of course I have taken lots of pictures, so here is a peak at the first two days...

As part of the opening assembly, some of the youth are involved in a skit that introduces the theme for the day. The setting for VBS this year is a carnival...

Each day the kids bring pennies for the "penny offering". The group of ladies in the picture above come and count the pennies from that offering. The boys and girls have a contest to see which group can bring the most pennies each day.

Bentley is excited about being involved in VBS this year. Here he is giving his pennies today...

And it looks like the boys are still ahead after day two...

Yesterday, myself and another sweet lady in our church taught the mission moment for the week. The focus was on India. Jill had Indian style dress we could wear, so here we are in front of a map of the world that we have on a wall in our sanctuary...

Four and Five year old class...

Some of our youth are serving as guides for each class to make sure they get from one activity to the other...

Cecily is helping out with the crafts and the skit in the opening assembly as well has helping Mike teach the kids the motions to the songs...

We have a wonderful lady in our church, Sharon, who has an exceptional gift of organization in the kitchen and is getting a good lunch served to 40 plus people each day...
