Wow, church worship kicked off VBS today when Checkers the Cheetah showed up to invite everyone to VBS.
We had 15 children for night one of VBS. The meal was supplied by Katie who provided some yummy lasagna, bread, salad, cupcakes, cookies and Lindley Farms cheesecake. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it.
The kids gathered in the sanctuary after dinner and learned some songs and watched a video about the G Force, or God’s force. The first action word learned tonight was Move. Herbie and Chester challenged the kids to learn to Move for God.
Lex and Josh led the first story was about God calling Moses to move to help the Children of Israel leave Egypt.
Marcia then showed the kids how to make a tornado in a bottle.
It was too hot to play outside. Herbie and Brianna created some inside games to keep the kids moving. For their snack they were given strawberry newtons, a teddy graham and some M&Ms to build a car that would Move them.
After that, it was back to the sanctuary for some more songs. The 2nd action word for the night was Act.
Lynn and Sandy led the 2nd story about Solomon building the temple, acting in faith. The science section was for the kids to feel snow.
The night closed with songs and sharing. And we can’t wait to see what night 2 brings.
