I have not told you about VBS, although it finished last month, we have had lots and lots of fun! It was a detective theme, which I really like books like The Bobbsey Twins which is a whole series of detective books which are really cool :) And so here's what happened . . .
This had been July, 14-18 which was a four day thing, what the dectective part was was, searching to find the point that Jesus really is God, and nobody else,
:) :) :)
!
And so, I'll start out talking about the first day . . .
The first day quite a lot of people that we had known from last year were there and also my little cousin was there too; she is just one year older than Buddy :) And so we sat down in seats pretty close to the front and started out by singing songs, my favorite song was One Way Jesus, and I could tell that it was a favourite of other kids there too because when Mr. Foss, said, "This is one of my favourite songs, and it is called . . ." "ONE WAY!" All of the kids shouted! And then after that we all had skits, which was based on an old man, (Mr. Foss) and his son and daughter. He could not even remember what he had for breakfast or which socks he had on and then he thought that he had some secret recipe out there and so he hired a ton of detectives who searched and lots gave up, but one finally found proof so that it looked like it could be there and in the end he found the secret place where it was and then when he brought it back, the old man had it and he didn't smell plastic flowers anymore :) and he didn't need a wheelchair and he gave out the special recipe for free to people who had been just like him :) It was a good set of skits this year, and also after that we prayed and then we went off to our groups, and our group which was 2-3 went into art first, and the first day we made sun catchers, they were in shapes of crosses or Bibles. What we did was we took little tubes that had paint in them and filled them in the cracks and they were pretty! The second night we made shirts with spray paints and markers! And the third night we made picture frames! We took little shapes and we took stick-ons and then we took glitter and then we put it in a little stand and glued it in, Then I, for a finishing touch, put little drops of glitter all around the stand :) The next night we took plastic cups and colored Bible story pictures to put them in the cup! The first day we went to gym next where the game we played were crab soccer where we put our hands behind our back and used our feet to play soccer! And we played a game where we started at one end of the room and ran with a potato on a spoon and if you dropped the potato you had to go back, your team had to get the potato back first :) That was fun! Then we had snacks, which we had rice crispies, fruit roll ups or other things! Then we went to our Bible time where we talked about Jesus and the wonderful things that he did! On the last night all of the parents, came and saw what we learned and we had a slide show and lots of other things! We had sodas and brownines and yummy things! And through VBS we also learned a memory verse,
But as many as received Jesus to them he gave the right to become children of God to those who believe in his name :)
But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ Son of God and that by believing you may have life in his name :)
We have had a wonderful time :)
