Vacation Bible School 2013

…there was a vacation Bible school! We hope you came by Fellowship Hall the week of June 17 and wandered through the town of Dirt Clod and got to meet some of its citizens! The kids and adults had a great time crafting in the General Store, Stables, Clothing Store, and Soft Goods; snacking in the Feed Store; and sending/receiving “telegrams” to/from Pastor Elkin at the Wells Fargo Office; as well as learning about how God sent Moses to save the Israelites and that He loved us enough to send Jesus to save us!

Many More Photos

Elizabeth Here’s a sampling of some of their “telegrams”:

VBS 2013 “Levi is excited because he has made 3 new friends at VBS!”

“Oh, well, I hope your daughter does good! How long did it take you to get to France? I hope you have a good time with your grandson.”

“We hope you are having a great time! We are looking forward to seeing you when you get back. We are learning about Moses in VBS. See you soon.”

VBS 2013 “It is O.K. that you haven’t seen the Eifel Tower. (I haven’t either) I do love Mustaches though. I wish you still wore one. Have a safe trip.”

“We are having fun at VBS!”

The children took home all their replies from Pastor. He was up from 1:00-2:00 IN THE MORNING to receive their messages and send responses!!

VBS 2013 “GOD SIGHTINGS” were posted daily. Some as simple as “Thanks, God;” to thanks for the VBS helpers, friends (old & new), and family; to “no injuries at the Rodeo Romp (games)! …yet;” and (a personal favorite) “I really liked it here and can’t wait to come next year!”

The skits were very entertaining this year as friends joined together in light-hearted, fun-filled performances.

VBS 2013 We renewed acquaintances with old friends, made some new friends, and got to know our church family better! 30 children and youth were involved and, together, collected over $125 for Heifer International. It was a rootin’-tootin’ week full of YEE-HAWS, fun and love.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE SAY IT?
