Last night was the big wrap-up service for VBS at church. They actually finish up VBS classes this morning, but they always do a program for the parents and grandparents of the kids. It was amazing and exciting to see almost 800 kids up on stage singing and doing hand motions all at once.
I remember VBS when I was growing up. We didn't have all the elaborate themes and musical productions that they have now. (I'm starting to sound like Dana Carvey's old man character that he used to do on SNL. "We didn't have all those big, fancy video screens! All we had was the youth pastor singing off key! AND WE LIKED IT!") I'm a little envious of the kids now.
VBS is our church's biggest outreach of the year. Almost 1/3 of the kids there this week don't go to our church, and some of them don't go to church at all. It's incredible how many families start coming to our church just because their child came to VBS.
Well, looks like our windows will be installed next week. Hopefully the roof work will get done then, too. Then next Saturday the Moffitts will be in town for the weekend! We're all really looking forward to that!
