Vacation Bible School

The First Few Days

This week we started Vacation Bible School for the children of Akutan.  We have had a great response so far!  We decided to utilize Outrigger Island as our base curriculum.  The whole sanctuary has been transformed into a tropical island paradise (well, kinda).  Kelly, Rachelle, and David have been doing an outstanding job of teaching the children about;

Knowing the Truth,

Speaking the Truth, and

Living the Truth (the theme for this VBS).

Here are a few shots that we have taken so far:

The backdrop sign we made out of a few tarps we found and letters we drew, cut, and colored ourselves.

 Teaching the kids some of the bible songs on Outrigger Island!

Rachelle and David teaching more songs.  "Repent of your sins, QUICKLY! QUICKLY!"
(Those of you who have done this VBS before will get that  ;-)

Rachelle getting into the song!

Of course snacks are an important part of VBS!

 After we fill them full of sugar, we have to run it out of them!

 This is Tasha, one of the precious little ones we have been ministering to.

 

Crafts are done everyday as well.  Yesterday they made t-shirts they will be allowed to take home with them.

So far, so good!  Please keep praying for us as this is a busy week!  Peter is still recovering from an upper respiratory infection and his voice is coming and going.  He is feeling much better today, but he is still up half of the night coughing.

The new sermon series Peter has started, Spirit, Soul, and Body has proven to be challenging and uplifting.  Several people are asking deeper questions and digging into their Bibles.

That's all for now.  More to come!
