VBS 2014Wilderness Escape VBS Recap

Many more photos!

 

WILDERNESS ESCAPE Vacation Bible School was held Monday, July 21, through Friday, July 25. We had a great time! Most of the children were from outside of St. Mark’s, when asked how they found out about us, they answered “the billboard!” One family responded to the banner on Via Bella. Youth newly stepping into leadership roles were Taylor Wentzel (in one of the craft booths, after the Jones family became disabled), Jacob Schreckengast (crafts), Stefan Weber and Evan Barone (games).

VBS 2014Bernadette would like to extend special thanks to her own, Schreckengast and Zeigler families, without whom VBS would have been seriously hindered.

Makensi Doebler, Grace Schreckengast, Sara Jones, Jacob Schreckengast, and Hayley Springer worked hard during the June workday/overnight.

 VBS 2014Dan Zeigler (Moses) and Bob Jones (Whiner) creatively told the story of how God helped the Israelites to escape Egypt and survive through the wilderness. The many props for this were, thankfully, collected by Kathy Eshelman The VBS coordinator from Calvary Baptist Church, Elizabeth Paulhamus, created wonderful palm trees for the Israelite camp's oasis, helped us paint, and loaned us a realistic” fire” for Moses ' tent. At the end of the week, many of our things went with her for their VBS the 3rd week of August. Great cooperative efforts!

We renewed acquaintances with old friends, made some new friends, and got to know our church family better! Two dozen children and over a dozen youth were involved. The mission offerings were again for Heifer International (we’re awaiting an official count). It was a week full of fun and love.
