Day 1- Bethlehem
Our journey began with Jesus being born! We acted out our very own nativity scene and made our own baby mangers as our craft. In the kitchen we made (bacon wrapped and goat cheese stuffed) dates, a popular food in the days Jesus was born in Bethlehem. In music, we sang Away in the Manger and Jesus in the Morning.
Day 2- Galilee
Our journey began in the region of Galilee to the lake country. We did the teaching on the mount and had a special guest, Dr. David Inge, visit us to talk about how your life’s work can be your ministry! We fished for disciples (literally!) and painted rocks with God’s creatures. The rocks are representative of the firm foundation, otherwise we wash away like the sand. In the kitchen we made our own hummus and our own Matzah. Winfred will be dealing with the flour for days, our apologies!
In music we sang, This is My Commandment and This Little Light of Mine.
Day 3- Jerusalem
Our journey began on Palm Sunday with art around the room with the Resurrection/Ascension. Our crafts were crosses, and our games were looking for symbols in the church windows. In the kitchen we cooked lamb meatballs! We learned “Ride through Jerusalem,” singing loudly about the donkey riding through Jerusalem
representing Palm Sunday.
We ended Go Now in Peace and Shalom my Good Friends in music everyday in English AND in Hebrew. Peggy Lyden had a fabulous team, Libby, Sandra and Janet who helped us journey in music.
Special thanks for Pam Koch who has continued to write the curriculum and spent countless hours bringing it to life through games and crafts. Pam and her helpers, Mary Horner and Lynn Fondren were instrumental in making our days seamless and loads of fun.
Thank you to Karrie at the Cookery who helped us journey through these locations with the food of the times.
Thank you to our youth helpers :
Madeline McMurphy, Amelia Rivers, Leah Kennemer, Leah Tillman, GG Webb, Mason and Madison Sanders, Stella and Todd Gallaspy, Lula Payne, Ava Dorminey, Anna Katherine Cox, Meryl Dubroc, Lauren Carrington, Tolly McCall and Ellen Arendall.
Thank you to Cherish Posey, Director of Sunday School, for all of your hard work with another fabulous year of VBS!
We give thanks for all the volunteers who gave so generously of their time to make Vacation Bible School a time where the love of Jesus was made real for our children.
