VBS
Monday was mostly just a preparation day. Everyone set up their stations and made sure that everything was ready to go for the next morning. Some of the students cleaned up the grounds.
Tuesday was when the VBS actually started. The kids started arriving at about 8 AM, the VBS started at 8:30. We didn’t have that many kids the first day, which was kind of good. I think there were about 21 kids the first day… and we had 23 workers. It was a nice manageable amount of kids. The group leaders were able to really connect with the kids in their groups. The second day we nearly doubled our numbers. I think we had about 45 kids the second day. On the third day I think that we had about 47 kids.
The students did their assigned tasks very well and really seemed to enjoy themselves. The whole VBS ran remarkably smoothly.
The theme for our VBS was “You are special.”
The people who did the teaching/singing part did very well. They were so enthusiastic with the kids. Their Bible stories included skits, singing, puppets and games. They were able to keep the kids very interested.
I was so blessed to see things work out so well. I have never organized and ran a VSB before, and neither had any of the students. It was good to have everyone know their roles, and willingly do them. Amy and I were the ones who assigned people to their tasks. We prayed about it and we put people in the places that we felt God telling us to place them. God know what He was doing, that is for sure. We could see that through how well things went. God certainly is a God of order.
