Vacation Bible School Success!

Peter Stockwell tells the children the theme of the day

Today we concluded five days of Vacation Bible School with a wildly successful picnic/barbecue and by collapsing on the couch in complete exhaustion!

Peter Stockwell, VBS director, did a fantastic job of recruiting and managing an enormous team of adult and teen leaders. Our enthusiastic volunteers led the kids in crafts, music, games, Bible stories, food, and the Bible challenge (my specialty!).

It was wonderful to see the kids as they learned about God. Their openness to God is so lovely to see, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them. Of course, there are always challenges! Some kids have trouble focusing, some kids get bored, and after five days we were all a little tired out. But overall, it was a huge success.

I'm thrilled that so many children came to know Jesus this week, and I hope that their parents will have a closer connection to St. Antony's that will lead them to become members here. God is good!
