Vacation Bible School

Last week we had our VBS - live and in person! Last year we did an online version. Meh. This was much better, to be back together again. We didn't try to reach out into the community yet, though. Just our children and some of their friends for this year. Next year, hopefully, we'll be able to reach out more.

Our theme this year was "Jesus Our Brother" and we learned stories of brothers in the Bible and how they can teach us about Jesus as our brother. It went pretty well. It's always a very busy and tiring week, but a good one. It's always great when at the end of the week the kids ask if we can have another week! (They don't realize all the work that goes into it. :-)

Anyway, here are some links and pictures. The links are to the "newspapers" we passed out each day and to the videos of the kids we made each day about what we learned. Then some pictures . . .




Reading the Scriptures


Talking about brothers



Craft time!


Down with the kids




Chalk art! Wow!


Our vase filled to overflowing with coins!
We challenge them to do this each year with their offerings.
Sometimes they make it and sometimes not. This year they did!
(See the newspapers for more information on this.)
