Vacation- a relaxing get away
Bible- God's Holy Word
School-a place where you learn.
VBS- A relaxing place where you learn about God's word.
Well, I don't know if VBS was relaxing this year, but it was definitely a blast! At my church,First Baptist Grapevine, we had over 700 children each day. We actually had 842 different children. Our theme this year was Outrigger Island.
Each day begins with an assembly time of worship and a competition between girls and boys of who can bring the most offering and who can bring the most shoes. Shoes?? Well, we brought shoes for the organization Shoes for Orphan Souls. Click here to read more http://www.shoesfororphansouls.org/
Then it was back to our classrooms for Centers, Crafts, Bible Story, Recreation, Music, and Snack. It is a fun filled three hours. Here's Cara and her friend, Madeline learning about The Good Samaritan.
The best part of the whole week though was that forty children made a decision for Christ! Praise God!
It was at Vacation Bible School in 1977 that I made a decision to follow Christ.
It is so easy.. just like learning the ABC's.
A- Admit that you are a sinner
B- Believe in Jesus Christ as God's son and receive Jesus' gift of forgiveness from sin
C-Confess your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Even Caleb attended VBS, he had a great time.
However, today (Saturday) he took a 3 and 1/2 hour nap... you could say that VBS wore him out!!!
