VBS: All Aboard!

We kicked off VBS on Sunday evening. The group that worked since March to prepare the musical did a tremendous job. John King built the train engine and went beyond expectations for it. The teachers have also done a wonderful job with their room decorations.

Topping it off is a great group of kids that are excited to be in VBS and are full of energy. They are doing a great job bringing in pennies to support the VBS Mission trip to Tazewell, Virginia. The youngest among us are in the lead after the first count: K4 and K5 are setting the standard. There is a long way to go though!

The first two days we have learned about Peter's invitation to follow Christ and his discovery about faith. Check back for what the kids learn tonight in track 3 and enjoy the pictures from the opening celebration!

With VBS starting on Sunday, June 14, this week marks "prep week" as rooms and hallways will begin the transformation process. Our engine is being built to anchor our decor in the sanctuary. We had a team prayer walk the facility on June 6 and we have another team doing community canvassing tonight to pass out flyers and door hangers. We have had our workers in place for some time with material in hand, so when Sunday rolls around, all we have to do is greet the kids-hopefully.

A group of children have been working hard to prepare the VBS musical to present on Sunday evening and we can't wait to see it. We hope as many of you as possible can make it for VBS 2009!
