Vacation Bible School



We had a really good time on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. The teachers were well prepared and well organized. We had more than enough helpers for all activities. We had an opening set of songs and the main message at the beginning. The teacher for that period was a little bit goofy, but that's okay. It was me. Then we used out limited space to break out into groups divided by age. Everyone was crowded. This group of older elementary students had to move from a small classroom to the terraza. That was the coolest place in the building anyway so it worked out great. After the classroom activities for reinforcement and age-appropriate activities we had another large group session: more music and the main story once again. This time Rafael told the story through pictures using really cool flourescent paint and black light. The kids paid attention and the Gospel was presented very clearly. What fun! Then on Sunday we had a all of the kids back for Sunday School and VBS closing. 134 people showed up! and the house didn't fall down. We desperately need our building!
