Serving Community and Serving Jesus

VBS rolled on Wednesday with 'Splash Day' and visit from Sherry McDonnell from Hill Country Community Ministries. She talked to the kids about serving the Community and the role HCCM plays in proving food, clothing and comfort to those in need in the hill country. Splash day was big hit with water balloons, water cannons and a slip and slide.

Thursday night was the last night of the full VBS program (crafts, music, recreation & bible story). At each stop the excitement was still there and the kids were eager to recall their stories and memories of serving family, neighbors, community and Jesus. They even tried their hand at acting. During the bible story time they acted out the story told in Acts 2:3-10. 'and the crowd went wild!!!'

We videoed a musical presentation of two of the VBS songs. Come to church this Sunday to see the kids in action.

Who is your neighbor?

Today the kids learned who is their neighbor through the story of the "Good Samaritan" told in Luke 10:25-37.

The recreation stop had the kids moving and smiling with a race to bandage the man hurt on the side of the road.

The music stop had the kids singing and dancing.

The kids in the "Snakes" group work together and focus at the craft stop.

Members of the "Crickets" group acting out their part of the bible story. Here are two robbers are hiding beside the roadside waiting for a man walking down the road.

The kids are having a blast in God's Big Back Yard. Check in tomorrow for splash day and a story about serving the community.

Vacation Bible School - God's Big Back Yard

This year's VBS is theme is God's Big Back Yard where kids have a blast learning how to serve. Each day there is food, an open and closing assembly, music, crafts, recreation, story time and lots of smiles.


Today's meal was a kid favorite! Corn dogs, chips, watermelon and lemonade. Yum!


Our bible story for the day comes from Mark 2:1-12 and the kids learned to serve friends and to treat others as themselves.



Toddlers the in the nursery get a great view of the older kids during recreation.

Pastor Bob and Cooper appear in the opening and closing assembly. The voice of Cooper is an interesting impersonation, like a southern Edward G. Robinson.

Check back in for Tuesday's post as the kids learn about serving your neighbor.
