my kids have apparently not had enough of vbs!! after last week you would think we would all want a little break from the madness, but last night my family attended the most incredible vacation bible school i have ever been too. we were in such a rush that we even left the dinner table a complete mess just to be sure that we weren't late!! let me tell you what we experienced!
we had the most amazing large group time. they provided couches for the adults to sit on(parents were highly encouraged to attend with their children), and some of the best songs to sing. of course we had an offering time. i placed my dollar in the candle holder. that is what they use to show that the offering goes to show God's light to the world! impressive!!!
then it was off to craft time....in that room we created stone tablets and wrote the 10 commandments. it seemed pretty simple and a lot of fun to work with my children on this project. it made for some great conversations!!
then it was story time!! talk about creative!! the story was on noah and the flood. one person read the story straight from the bible while another person acted it out on stage - part puppet, part human! much like the professional shows you see at disney world!! there was a time of questions and answer at the end and a chance for everyone to pretend to be on the stinky boat!
then it was time for games....apparently we were running a little behind schedule so we had to play a shortened version of the game. it was an old Jesus-as-a-boy game where each person took turns seeing how far they could roll a ball. for our family map boy was the winner!!!
then it was snack time...at this vbs they save snacks for last to make sure everything else is done and put back in order. so once that task was swiftly completed they provided picnic baskets for us so enjoy our snacks on. the provided 3 different options. the kids settled on ice cream cones, mom settled on strawberry shortcake, and dad on yogurt (odd choice if you ask me!)
after snacks were finished it was closing ceremony time....we watched a fun video on moses and the plagues. then it was time to sing a song and go home! i asked the 2 directors what exactly the theme was since we had covered noah, moses, and the 10 commandments. plus touched a little on Jesus-as-a-boy!!
the 2 directors said it was all about their favorite parts of the bible!! most impressive!! what was even more impressive was that the directors were only 6 and 4 years old!! i can't believe how organized they were!!!!
