Today was the first day of Vacation Bible School, and were we BUSY! We had some twenty five kids plus lots of teen helpers and adult leaders, which made for a full and active morning.Peter Stockwell, our VBS director, has done a superb job of pulling together the people and programs necessary to make this work. It's marvelous to see it all come together.
Our theme is "Gadget's Garage", a program from Concordia Publishing house. The idea is that God made the world and all that is in it, just like a teenage kid named Gadget who likes to invent things in his garage workshop. The program includes snappy songs, craft ideas, Bible stories, and food creations. It's a pretty nifty show.
My part is to help the kids memorize a Bible verse using clap and stopping rhythms. Today we were also supposed to put together a paper cutout robot, but it was impossibly complicated and hardly any of the kids could accomplish it. Or adults for that matter! But we had fun anyway.
The children are full of energy and excitement, and they seem to be having a good time. And learning about God, I hope!
