VBS Week

This week, at our church, was VBS week. The theme was Outrigger Island, using Hawaii and all things tropical, the Truths of the Bible were taught. It has been an awesome week! Yesterday, 80 children gave their lives to the Lord! It has been such fun. I have been team teaching first grade and Joshua has been in with his 3 year old class. The preschoolers had a separate program from the elementary kids, but they also used the Outrigger Island curriculum. Joshua has really come out of his shell this week in his class. He has been pretty quiet and does not do much talking when he is in Sunday school or Mother's Day Out. But when they began the week with their daily morning worship time, he apparently just bubbled over with the music and has gone non-stop since!! They say that he dances and is so animated! Now mind you, we see this at home all the time, but how exciting that he is letting others enjoy this gift of joy that bubbles over in him! We are just so blessed to have been chosen to love and raise him!! THANK YOU GOD!!!

Joshua's whole group worship.

Classroom worship time with Miss Ginger, who by the way, has iconical status among the children! He literally broke free from my hand and RAN screaming to her at the special pizza dinner last night for VBS family night. She said to me, "I feel like the Beatles must have felt. But these little friends are much more precious than a Beatles fan!!"





Riding the VBS train with Erin!!

This is during the VBS program for families last night. The preschoolers sang a few numbers.

Joshua was just singing and dancing his heart out!!

He did not stand still the whole time.



I guess he likes to sing and dance for Jesus!!
