VBS Closing Service & Picnic
What an amazing closing celebration we had today! I have never heard children’s voices singing over their parents before. But, in the VBS service, the kids did an outstanding job of worshipping, singing the awesome songs they learned during VBS week.
And the banners they made are fantastic! Just beautiful. Wow, that’s a lot of buttons!! The banners will be hanging in the Sunday School area until the Fall, if you want to see them up-close!
Thanks to Leona and Tammy for their help with the closing picnic activities. It was a lot of fun. It would have been nice if the rain held off! But, all around, what a great day.
Wish I Were There:
I missed an amazing VBS this year. Unfortunately I had to work during VBS week, but I already booked VBS week 2008 off, so I’ll see you all then! The singing was great, the banners look awesome and, according to the slideshow (sidebar), it looks like they had a lot of fun!

Thank You:
Thank you to all the people that made this year’s VBS a success. Thank you to the planning committee for being involved from the start. A special thanks to Lindah, our Director of Parish Services, for all her hard work and dedication.
Thank you to all the volunteers: the teachers, the shepherds, the Leadersheep, the recreation and craft instructors, the kitchen staff, everyone who lended a helping hand to VBS this year.
And thank you to everyone who donated supplies, food & beverages, craft items, and their time in making VBS happen before it happened!
Thank you to the talented music crew: Larry, George, Matthew, Miriam, and Naomi, who did an outstanding job of leading the kids in singing and praising.
Thank you, parents, for bringing your children to VBS. And thank you to the kids who came. We enjoyed having you, and hope you will come again next year. Of course, if you can’t wait til next year, you can always join us for Sunday School in the Fall!
And, of course, thank you, Jesus, for everything you have done for us: being born as a little baby, dying on the cross, raising again, ascending to heaven to prepare a place for us, and sending your Holy Spirit to dwell in us until you return.
