Vacation Bible School… Not So Much of a Vacation

I want to start out this post by saying kudos to everyone that has ever been involved in a vacation bible school.  This means the planning, coming up with cirriculum, decorating, building, teaching, puppeteering, acting, crowd controlling, and so much more.  For those of you who don’t know there are hundreds of hours put into constructing what is the happy-go-lucky time for those kids 12 and under.  Fairgrounds Road (my home congregation) is in the midst of a three night VBS.  There have been so many good people to help out.  For our little congregation (average of 70) this is a big event and most if not everyone has helped out in some manner or another.  I just wanted to say thank you to those people who have made this happen and have you thank God that this event can take place and be a light in our community.  We’ve had 52 and 48 kids Monday and Tuesday respectively.  That’s at least 20 kids more than we had the final night last year.  Tomorrow we’re planning a Hullabaloo at the end as sort of a celebration.  It’s a good end to a great experiance.  I hope that those of you who work on VBSes understand just how much it means to the children, and how much more it can impact the parents.  So to all of you who put in that time and effort for the Kingdom, thank you, and I respectfully tip my hat.
