The end of VBS

We had a great week of Vacation Bible School w/ an avg. attendance of 42 children each night & about 20 adult helpers. Everyone had fun & it was a great blessing to be a part of it. So many worked so hard & to them I am extremely thankful. Here are some pics from the week.

The huge puddle that formed following the unexpected downpour proved to be the biggest attraction with the kids. We had a Kickoff Pre-registration Luau on Sunday night.

What kid doesn't love blowing bubbles?

Is it time to send the kids to snacks?

We ended w/ Family Night last night so the families could see all we had done this week.

Here I am "catching a wave." We have an offering competition each year between the boys & girls to see who brings the most money (in pounds so every penny counts) & the boys came up short & as a result I got doused w/ buckets of water. The kids went crazy & I think the adults enjoyed it too. One of our Kindergarten boys came up to me later & looked sad as he told me "I'm sorry brudder Chris we made you get wet."

I told him it was OK & how proud I was they worked hard to help bring offering to support the Arkansas Baptist Children's Homes. It was a great week & we're praying God will continue to make a difference in the lives of these children.
