VBS Recap

First Pres's VBS theme this year was "SonSurf - Meet up with Jesus!"  Over 100 kids, the majority of whom came from the surrounding community, and more than 50 volunteers worked together to make it a great week for everyone. 
Because I'm part of the working world now, I couldn't actually attend VBS so I don't have pictures during the week like I did last year.  But we did attend the closing night program, which featured the kids singing (or not singing, as in Micah's case) a few songs from the week.
Check out the sanctuary decorations!

He may not have sung, but at least he looked cute!  And if you look closely, you can see that, next to where his name was written on his hat for him, he actually did it himself too, and then colored over it.  He's getting really good at writing his name.

Looking cute again.  Still no singing.

Just standing as part of the group.  Still not singing.

Liam, on the other hand, was clapping along in the audience.  When we play the CD in the car, Micah does choose to sing, but Liam actually sings louder and yells out, "J-E-S-U-S" when it comes time in the song to spell Jesus' name.  He's ready to participate next year!

Here's a video of all the kids singing the week's theme song, video proof that Micah wasn't singing.  But sometime I'll take video in the car when they're really singing along!

All kidding about singing aside, Micah really did have a great time at Vacation Bible School, and is talking about Jesus a lot more, even starting to get a grasp in his own way of who Jesus is and what Jesus did for him.  It's really amazing to watch faith develop, and we're so blessed to be part of a church that does so much to nurture the faith of its youngest members.  Thanks, First Pres!
