A High Sea Adventure

The kids and I have spent the last week at Vacation Bible School.  The program was "High Seas Expedition - Exploring the Mighty Love of God".

 

We started each day with singing, and learning our Bible point for the day.

1.  God's word is true.

2.  God's word is comforting.

3.  God's word is surprising.

4.  God's word is life-changing.

5. God's word is for everyone.

 

 

We then separated into Preschool and Elementary groups and went and listened to our Bible story for the day.

I was a Preschool "Crew" leader

Then, at some point each day we had a time of:

Games...

(They're simulating the stormy seas when God comforts Paul)

 

Pulling an anchor

 

...Chatter's Theatre...

(where they reinforced each day's Bible point)

 

...and the all important craft time.

Tristan wasn't in my crew, but he did travel to the different activities with us as we were in the same larger group.  He did really well, and stayed with his own crew most of the time - except during the story time when he wanted to hang out close to me.

 

He was so into singing on this particular day that he was right up in front of the television singing and signing along with the video.

Grace had a great time too, but I didn't see much of her as she was with the elementary kids and we only crossed paths at the beginning and the end of the day.

Now, it's off to Egypt with our church, learning about Joseph's journey from prison to palace.

I don't know that I'll get many pictures of that as David and I are in a class and church service during their VBS time, but I'll see what I can do.
