VBS - Fruit of the Spirit

VBS time...we had setup the day before, and then it started. :) And you know - it went so well. Everyone worked together great, put effort and time into their part, and we all enjoyed the busy week. 

 As the songleader, I had fun with Amber this year - we did the high five/shaking hands actions together. She did great - even though I only asked her 1/2 hour before we were teaching it to the rest of the kids. 

 Craft time - Janice led the crafts, and did a super job. 

 Our very own "Uncle Zeke" - Shane put a lot of effort into the opening as well as the skits. He learned how to play spoons, speak with a drawl, and made it so fun for everyone. 

 Another craft time - planting flowers and decorating the pots. 

 Some of the registration workers - Glenda was our kid counter, re-assurer to me, and encourager to all. :) 

 Some of our great actors: Caleb and Kirsten, and the great barn that Mark and James made!

 Pat- our faithful soundman. 

 Mr. McElrea getting right in there and learning the actions along with the kids. 

 Shantel - who filled in everywhere that week...registration, teaching, acted every night, was my main photographer, and helped wherever, whenever. 

 Shelly made this great sign for the entrance. :) The fruits of the spirit was our theme. 

Janice leading the crafts. 

 Greg and Steph - the faithful couple. 

 Doris helping Erik with a craft. :) Erik loved being part of "GPS" as he called it. He was a little young, but since I was running it, he got to come in a bit early. :)

 Making "garden cookies" - so cute. 

 Mike was the teacher - message giver - and he incorporated some more actors into it too which was good. 

 Amber was a great helper as well - looking after babies, helping with crafts, songs - and with a ready heart.

 The County Fun Fair on Friday! We had a great BBQ after some fun games - all organized by Krissy. It was such fun, and everyone had a blast. 

 My darling little piggy!! 

 One of the games was to dress up like a farmer, and run around the barrel and back - relay race. So cute. 

 Getting dressed up.

 Then time for the food. 

 And my darling little kitty cat. :) Erik didn't get his face painted - not sure why not, but next year. :) 

 Brought out my banjo to play "Shortening Bread" and "I'll Fly Away" with Shane on the spoons - man was I rusty. :)

 Little escapee from the last presentation. 

 The last part of the skit - they all did so well. 

 A cute couple :) 

Most of the actors for the skit.

Everything went so well, and we were thankful for the couple of children that came out for the first time. It was a smaller one, but a good one! Hooray for VBS 2014.
