We had a blast on Day 1 and Day 2 of VBS! It was so fun!! We had so much fun and 50 kids registered, just like we prayed for! The setting up in the week before this was difficult, but thanks to our hardworking VBS crew, the beautiful Rainforest was up and running by Monday!
Everyone helped set up the registration and name-tag table, and in the slideshow below, you will see some "behind-the-scenes" pictures of how everyone pitched in to make this event possible!
This is how your VBS shirts are made! With lots of love!
Kids sang praise & worship daily, watched daily dramas of adventures in the rainforest, ate different snacks representing the day's parable (like crushed oreo soil and gummy worms; sheep-shaped crackers), and had outdoor activities like water-relay!
Caleb eats his 'lost sheep popcorn snack', unaware that Pastor Allen is next to him with silly face....
The boys especially loved getting themselves (and others) wet!
In between stations, some groups played fun games!
They also participated in snake-jumping contests, made different crafts like rainmaker instrument and silly masks, and heard different parables in a secluded rainforest tent!
On Day 2, a special guest joined the kids in the rainforest! IT WAS..... Kobee the Senegal Parrot! Brought to you by our coordinator, Ranger Mark! [Ok, it was lugged to and fro the house/minivan by supportive spouse Sophie...but we'll give him the credit anyways....] (^_^)
He immediately got the attention of many forest rangers, and had a blast hanging out with them! Stay tuned for more tomorrow.....and Thursday....and Friday!
