The week has finally come to a close. We ended tonight with our closing program. There were about 180 kids, parents and members present. Every class sang a song that they had worked on all week and we saw the live conclusion of Gospel Man and Bible Boy. In the end all of their enemies came and apologized and turned to Christ. These videos were just priceless. James and Davy are already planning new episodes for next year! I think they just like all the hype and recognition they get as super heroes! LOL!
We gave away two bicycles tonight - one to a boy with perfect attendance and one to a girl with perfect attendance. It was so neat to see how excited the winners were. I hope they enjoy their new bikes and always remember their week at New Life. Hopefully many seeds were planted this week. We're already starting to see some fruit from all that went into this week. We had several VBS visitors this morning and we picked up four kids on the bus so we're off to a start. Now comes the task of following up with the kids.
All in all, VBS was a lot of work but definitely worth it. It was awesome to see what can be accomplished when you set your mind to something and seek God's will. I'd like to give a big shout out to everyone who helped with VBS in any way. We counted that there were about 80 people who played a part in bringing this week to pass! You guys are awesome and we love you so much!
Now I'd like to be able to say that I'm going to rest, relax and recuperate but we head out tomorrow for a week of tent camping at Hillsboro Family Camp in Hillsboro, Ohio with a bunch from church. Oh well, it's probably for the best. If I ever stop I may not get started again! That's what happens when you get old.
