Say YES to VBS!!

Our church had Vacation Bible School all last week, the theme was Saddle Ridge Ranch (our church was decorated all over with a western feel).

We learned lot of songs that went hand in hand with our bible verses,

stories about missionaries serving in the United States and in Africa,

the ABC's of becoming a Christian, and always a favorite of the kids snack/recess and arts/craft time. Sam loved every minute of this week with his cousins and friends- I think Penny really liked it too.

Our Sanctuary time was the highlight - that is where we sang our VBS songs altogether; Sam's favorite in order:
1. Tumbleweed
2. Saddle Ridge Ranch
3. God Cares
4. Say Yes to VBS (this would be mine and Penny's #1 pick)
5. I Know what I am Going to Do

On Thursday night we had a special VBS night - The Christian Cowboy came to share his wonderful message and wow the crowd with his "cowboy" tricks.

While he was here he was going to attempt to break the Guinness Book World Record for holding the longest pole on his chin for the longest amount of time (58 inches long for longer than 11 seconds).

VBS was a great success -

It's about time for an update. I've been worried about the Party of Five!
