Vacation Bible School is now over for this year and we had a wonderful time! Well, over except for the 'closing program' which will be tonight, Lord willing. It was a really rewarding experience - I was the Pre-K 'Group Leader' (the person who leads the kids from one place to another, makes sure they're where they need to be throughout the evening, and takes care of them if they need anything) and the kids were so fun! Their eagerness and excitement really reminded me of how the Lord tells us to be like little children in our seeking of Him.
Trissy was the Kindergarten Group Leader, and Oliver and Lindy were the teachers for both the Pre-K and Kindergarten groups.
Monday night's lesson was on the parable of the four kinds of soil, and how we should be like the good soil, and have our hearts ready for the sowing of the seed of God's Word. (Mark 4:3-20)
Tuesday night was on the parable of the lost sheep; how the shepherd left all the others to go out looking especially for the one little lost one, and how the Lord wants us to be His sheep (Luke 15:3-17),
Wednesday night was on the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-35),
Thursday night was the man who asked to borrow bread from his friend at midnight (Luke 11:5-10), and
Friday night was about the parable of the Talents. (Matthew 25:14-27).
I only stayed with the kids in the room to hear the lesson on Monday and Tuesday nights, the others I was running errands and staying busy elsewhere, so I didn't hear the last three nights' story "applications".
Including each night of the week, I had a total of 8 different children in my group (Friday night they all came, and I was glad they were all together on the last night), and more than half of those (5) also go to the Christain Academy! So I already new them, and didn't have to spend alot of time trying to learn names and temperments. :) They were all very well-behaved all week, as well as being enthusiastic ;)
So that's how VBS went, in a nutshell.
On a slightly side note, Tuesday night Lindy told us that one of our young men had led a girl to the Lord the day before (they are both music majors and go to college together, and the girl is the girlfriend of another of our young men)! And also on Thursday night, I think it was, the older daughter (whose about 11) in one of our church families 'announced', for lack of a better term, that she had been saved a little over a week before. Both of these girls were baptized this morning, along with two other women who had been visiting the church, and were recently saved! So, in the words of the 11-year-old's little sister, "This is a good day" :D
