Journeys
7-29-12
This week we had Vacation Bible School at Doniphan. We met Sunday night through Thursday night from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Many thanks to Donna Bieck for coordinating VBS once again this year. We had 75 kids and 20 adult and youth workers this year. Each night we’d begin with a little music and community time then move on to stations with Crafts, games, skits, drumming circle, movies and music. In the middle, we’d all meet for snack. Every part had a message. Then we’d all gather once again at the end for more songs and dancing.
Our scripture stories were about Jesus and the Roman soldiers, Lazarus, Pontius Pilot and Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. Thursday night was the program for the parents. Today at Doniphan, kids who can be there will perform the same program for us.
I try and remind VBS leaders that all their hard work and effort is truly worth it. The ripple effect of 75 kids experiencing God’s love through the folks and food at our church will expand their hearts and make a world with more compassionate and loving people for generations to come.
I like to think that we overflowed gift upon gift to those 75 kids until they got the feeling that gifting others is just the way to be in this world. I think that makes Jesus smile.
Grace & Peace,
