My church is doing VBS this week. At my old church, I was always in Nebraska for VBS because it was earlier in the summer. Since I am here while VBS is going on, I am volunteering to help.
Yesterday was the first day. My job was to travel around with a group of kids as we went to different activity stations. It was fun. We started all together in the fellowship hall for a little music and a crazy drama presentation by the leader and the pastor.
Pastor wore a wig and talked in a funny voice.
The stations were so interesting. The people who wrote these materials really did a good job. The theme is Mount Everest. I haven’t experienced VBS materials since I was a kid, but I was really impressed by the stuff I saw yesterday. Here is the station where we learned about Elijah being fed by ravens and living by a river where he could have water during a drought. The artificial river had a bucket of water in it so the kids could all dip a cup in and have a drink. It was genius!
The woman telling the story did an awesome job
How cool! Most of the churches around here are doing Mount Everest, so it’s good to get a glimpse into what it looks like. (We did Camp Discovery.) How delightful that you are helping this year! I love peeking into other church’s goings-ons. 🙂
Did you have good snacks? Let’s face it: that’s where it’s at.
Yes, I agree…..the VBS material has come a long way. I noticed when my kids were in VBS. And I just loved being a part of it too. I was always in charge of decorating…..and decorating I did. Inside, outside, upstairs, downstairs. So fun! I often told a story too. With costumes of course.
Enjoy your week! Singing, stories, crafts, and snacks…..what a great way to spend your mornings!
