Three years ago was our last Vacation Bible School due to preparing for our building project. But VBS is back in full force this week 9 to 12 daily. The exciting thing is it is being held in our new church church building which is designed specifically for worship and various ministries events like VBS.
Monday kids ages 4-12 streamed in as we launched Wonder World. On the first day one small child arriving said to his mom, “This is the best day of my life!” He was so excited he could hardly stand it. Teachers took kids to activities and classes that all focus on the life changing truth of Scripture. Skits, lessons, and activity sheets focused on the eternal truth of the Gospel of Christ that leads to forgiveness, salvation, and growth. We even had a ventriloquist using her stuffed pig named Hamilton to get the message across. On small child noted that “Hamilton seems to have a lisp.” He sure does.
The Lord gave great weather for the week which really helps with outside activities that kids love. So far over a hundred kids have come and we expect more yet. However, we were covered even if it did rain.
Friday there is a short closing program at 12:00. Families and friends of the children and our church family are encouraged to come. Your presence will encourage the children, bless the teachers and will also be a great way to meet new families.
A free barbeque will Immediately follow the short program at about 12:30 pm. There will be hotdogs, chips, various salads, and of course ice cream. Come enjoy, meet others, and be blessed.
