I brought in balloons, banners, donuts and coffee in to the church office.




And there's the birthday boy! He's getting up there now!

VBS Pictures!

Hi All!

Below I have posted many pictures from our VBS, as promised! I will have a few more to add shortly, when I get them from a friend. They are pictures of the decorating, etc, in the Sanctuary, which was pretty neat. Everyone did such a good job!

Hard to believe VBS is over! Now, onto the next project, but we are loving every minute!

We had amazing signs made from Sojourn! Loved them! They turned out great!

VBS BBQ & Carnival (and VBS pics!)

On the Sunday, following VBS, we had a BBQ/Carnival and had tons of carnival games and booths for the kids! This was one of the bouncing castles, with a water slide!
This picture is from the last day of VBS, when I had arranged for a plate of whip cream, etc, to be made up to put in Shaun's face! The kids loved it. P. Nathan did the honors and then we had the fire truck in the background spray all the kids for water day! We were drenched!
And it's in the face!

Rosanne, Amy and I (We have few pictures of children from VBS or activities, because we are not allowed to post pictures without parents' permission).
