Below is an album of our VBS. Our church has an all-family Vacation Bible School. While the kids are in their classes learning the adults are with Pastor Cable learning. The schedule worked out soo nicely. We have an opening all together (adults and children) when we do the Waddly-Atcha song (a VBS favorite), penny offering (our personal favorite, just a side note our penny offering was going to Camp Chetek this year for scholarships for Junior Mission Campers. We were able to raise over $1800.00 What a lot of pennies for the teens to count!! What a blessing that was).
We then divide the kids up for their classes. While the adults stayed in the sanctuary. After a short lesson, and memory verse time, the kids go out to play a game. After that they all came back into the sanctuary and David would do an object lesson using magic (the kids love this part). After the closing the VBS store would be open. The kids can use the money they get for saying verses, answering questions, and being good listeners (we have said it's fun to watch the spending habbits of children). After they are done with the store adults and children can go get snacks!
It was such a wonderful week of fun and adventure. The kids enjoyed it as did the parents. David did such a wonderful job! At the end of Bible school on Thursday night we were ready to crash. We averaged 65 children a night.
The teens were split up and served in various roles such as penny offering counters (not an easy task), teacher aids, games helpers, and ran the store. They did such a wonderful job and were very helpful!
Here's an album of our week

I like that idea of having it for everyone. Did you have to do it in the evenings? Looks like a fun but busy week. How did Annika survive it?
It was in the evenings, from 7:00-8:30. It was tremendously busy. Annika was sooo good. It was such a blessing! She has really started to become a more happier baby!
